Klein Doubles Through Proulx

Shamus

In the last hand of the level, Miguel Proulx raised to 120,000 from the small blind, and L.J. Klein called from the BB. The flop came {5-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {2-Hearts} . Proulx checked, and Klein bet 240,000, leaving himself about a half million behind. Proulx announced he was raising pot, and Klein called with his remaining chips.

Proulx {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}
Klein {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}

An intriguing situation, in which Proulx's humble pair of fours were currently best. But the {9-Diamonds} turn gave Klein the straight, and the {2-Spades} sealed it.

Klein bounds back to around 1.7 million on that one, while Proulx slips back under 2 million. We'll get exact counts here in a second as the players are about to go on a 20-minute break.
