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.
