Klein Cuts His Losses, Folds Early
Level 21
: Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
In a pot that saw Jesse Sylvia raise in middle position and Bill Klein call from the big blind, the flop came J♦8♣K♥.
Klein, with the first action, opted to fold rather than check or bet. Sylvia asked, "How do I win the pot now?" before jokingly tossing out a bet.
As the table laughed, the dealer told Klein that he can't fold when there is no betting action to him to which Klein, with a wry smile on his face, jokingly said, "Penalize me. I'll lose less chips while I'm gone."
The whole table got a good laugh out of it as Sylvia dragged the pot.
