Career

Klein was successful for the first time in June 2008 at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and came in the money in two tournaments in the No Limit Hold'em variant and once in Pot Limit Omaha . In mid-June 2010 , he reached his first WSOP final table and finished second in an Omaha event for almost $ 200,000 in prize money. In July 2012 , Klein had his only cash so far at the WSOP Main Event , finishing 248th for just under 40,000 US dollars. At the 2016 WSOP , he won a tournament with mixed variants of No Limit Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha and thus secured his first bracelet and a prize of around 240,000 US dollars. A few days later, he finished second behind Brandon Shack-Harris in the Pot-Limit Omaha Championship for more than $ 550,000. The following year, Klein won another Pot Limit Omaha tournament at the 2017 WSOP and received around $ 230,000 and his second bracelet . At the end of June 2018 , he won the WSOP's Pot-Limit Omaha Championship , becoming the fourth player alongside Matt Matros , Allen Cunningham and Robert Mizrachi to have won a bracelet for three consecutive years since the poker boom in 2003 . In addition, Klein received his highest prize money to date with a prize money of more than one million US dollars. At the 2019 WSOP , he again prevailed in an event and secured a prize of just under 130,000 US dollars in mixed big bet . For this Klein received his fourth bracelet and became the third player in WSOP history after Doyle Brunson and Bill Boyd to win at least one tournament in four consecutive years.
