Another Double Up For Klinger
Apr 30, '10
Nicolas Chouity bet out on a flop of 1053 and Josef Klinger moved all in for a little under 2 million more. Chouity felt no choice but to call and turned over KJ for two overs and a flush draw.
Chouity revealed A4 for an even bigger draw and the best hand with ace high. Nonetheless, the J hit the turn, giving Chouity the best hand, at least temporarily.
Klinger needed any deuce, ace or heart to stay alive and did so when the A hit the river. He moves into second place with just over 5.5 million in chips and Chouity takes a hit down to 12 million.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race???
Apr 30, '10
There’s not a lot going on at the moment. Nobody at the table wants to be the first out and as a result, there are only two players who have been able to increase their stack since we started.
Chip leader Nicolas Chouity has done a good job of taking the pots that nobody wants and Josef Klinger has nearly doubled his stack without showdown in three key hands.
Don’t forget, you can watch the entire final table on EPT Live.
