Loren Klein put a boatload of pressure on his challengers late in Day 1B of the Ante Up Reno Main Event, moving roughly 4x over the final two hours of play with his aggression.
Looked as though today was starting out the same, getting Daoud Majoid to commit close to half of his stack before the river, then shoving to force Majid to a decision on a K-t-K-Q-x board.
Majid called with Q9 for two pair, Klein showed K-J for flopped trips and Majid is the first elimination of the day, cashing for $1,904.
Klein is now chipleader at 660,000.
