Can Klein Do It Again?

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Last year, Loren Klein came close to winning the $10,000 PLO Championship, finishing second to Brandon Shack-Harris for a giant $552,713 reward.

“There are a lot really great players in this final table. But I didn’t want to play against Loren heads-up… Loren is a really special player,” said Shack-Harris just after defeating Klein heads-up.

“He plays a very unorthodox style. We played some street PLO. He plays great. Even the bracelet when I won, he was the chip leader in that going into Day 2. I was reminded why he’s done so well,” Shack-Harris added.

Klein had entered the tournament fresh off his victory in the $1,500 Mixed No Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha where he scooped his first WSOP bracelet.

This year may possibly offer a similar story. Klein won his second bracelet last week, taking down the $1,500 PLO event for $231,483. He's now sitting in the Pot-Limit Omaha Championship again. And he'll surely do his best to return to heads-up.
