Larry Klur

Following a flop of Ks5s5h, a short-stacked player was all in from middle position for about 50,000 with Ts9s against Larry Klur in the big blind holding Kh8h.

The Jh turn and 2h river complete the board, giving Klur a flush to eliminate his opponent and send the remaining field onward to Day 2.
