"I even have his suit," Klein said to one of his supporters on the rail.
The dealer didn't make a big show out of dealing the board as was presented rapidly.
Porter and Klein shook hands before the former made his way to the payout desk. Klein sat down for the winner photo and said "The hat got me here, I can't take it off now," after someone on the rail commented on it.
"There are a lot of haters, I can't wait. Watch my twitter feed, it was non-stop today!"

"Am I?" Klein replied, "This might get me a Whitehouse invitation."
"My annual bracelet," Klein said on his way to the payout desk after the photos were taken.
