Bill Klein uses an aggressive poker strategy and an understanding of final table mental game dynamics to run a sick bluff vs Online poker crusher Jans Arends, also known as “Graftekkel”.
The $50k World Series of Poker high roller doesn’t have much soft action, as this hand clearly shows, but then again not many poker tournaments with fifty thousand dollar buy-ins do!
Just in case you haven’t seen Bill Klein in action before: He’s a retired businessman who has been playing poker at the highest stakes for decades while donating his winnings AND matching his losses to charity.
Bill Klein has been a staple of the high stakes scene for quite a while — check out this sick bluff he attempted vs our very own Phil Galfond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU_QFW6pCA4
As an aside – High Stakes Poker Season 7 is a treat of a season if you’re looking for old school poker content!
Jans Arends, or Graftekkel as he’s known online, is more well known for crushing online poker tournaments but still has plenty of cashes on his Hendon Mob page from live poker tournaments.
With over $5.1m in Live Poker earnings, Jans Arends is 2nd on the all time money list for the Netherlands despite putting in most of his poker action online.
It is clear that Jans Arends is no slouch when it comes to high stakes tournament poker, with a 1st in the $100,000 No limit hold‘em High Roller on June 12th, 2023, for over $2.5m and 1st in a $30,000 Triton Poker Super High Roller on March 4th, 2023, along with 3rd place in this $50,000 tournament.

I really enjoyed this video format, would love to see your take on more hand breakdowns 😀
Phil Galvin?, you're a legend right at the end of your video I'm not going to say nothing all I have to say is you're a legend laying down your hand. You are a true gentleman you made that old man his day. You sir?, is a gentleman.😮😂👏👏💯
More of these please 🙏🙏
Also – It's time to get ageism out of poker!
dude what the hell, ive seen this thumbnail a few times since it was posted and EVERY time i thought it was brad owen in the thumbnail! 10 seconds into the video i look back at the thumbnail, now knowing it has nothing to do w brad owen and it very clearly isnt him 😂
its like the photo changed weird how the brain works haha
I remember watching the Q10 hand and thinking this guy thinks he is playing PLO! Lol folding the nut straight on a paired board. But in all seriousness those are tough spots against someone you perceive as conservative. Nice review
Don't like the click bait titles lol
People aren’t giving bill enough credit here – you summed it up perfectly. He defended turn then realised on the river villain doesn’t have queen high or ace high. But he can likely get him off it by bluffing.. and my man pulled the trigger! Good bluff by Bill
When Bill said “there was a 9 out there, that’s the only reason I did it” can someone please explain why for a fish like me?
Could someone explain, Doyle says, there was a 9 out there, Bill agrees and say that's why he bluffed, why so?
Thanks
Curious why 8s are bad blockers. Seems like it would be beneficial to block 78? Or is that cancelled out by the fact that you also block T8?
