Loren Klein (sometimes L.J. Klein) is a professional poker player who has won four World Series of Poker bracelets. He began playing online in about 2007 and began live play in 2011 following Black Friday in 2011.[1] He won World Series of Poker bracelets at the 2016, 2017 and 2018 and 2019 World Series of Poker. Klein was the third player to win bracelets in three consecutive years (following Allen Cunningham 2005–07 and Matt Matros 2010–12) since the poker boom.[2][3]
Klein was raised in Michigan.[4] After moving west to play live, Klein made Reno, Nevada his home.[4][1] Among the players that Klein considers to be his poker colleagues are Chance Kornuth, Ben Lamb and Johnny Beauprez.[2]
He was known as L.J. Klein when he finished as runner up to Miguel Proulx in Event #28: $2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2010 World Series of Poker.[5] By the time he final tabled Event #50: $2,500 10-Game Mix (Six Handed) at the 2013 World Series of Poker, he was known as Loren Klein.[6] His first bracelet came in the 919-player 2016 Event #45: $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha for $241,427.[7][8] That year he also finished as runner-up to Brandon Shack-Harris in the 400-player Event #51 – $10,000 Eight-Handed Pot Limit Omaha World Championship.[9][10] His second bracelet occurred in the 870-player 2017 Event #41: $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha for $231,483.[4][1] His third bracelet came in the 476-player 2018 Event #49: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed Championship for $1,018,336 at a final table that included Shack-Harris (who finished third).[2][3]
At the 2019 WSOP, Klein won the $2,500 Mixed Big Bet event, becoming the first player since Doyle Brunson from 1976–79 and just the third overall in WSOP history to win bracelets four straight years.

Robert Klein Prop 14
Robert Klein Poker Club
It’s been 35 years since I first saw Robert Klein on television, hosting a summer replacement series (remember them?) called “Comedy Tonight.”
It’s been 31 years since I first saw Robert Klein in person, when my father snuck me into a nightclub I wasn’t old enough to be in (appropriately called “My Father’s Place”) to see our favorite comedian perform. By then, Robert had released two albums, “Child of the Fifties” and “Mind Over Matter,” and I knew every routine by heart.
Last night, while preparing for his appearance on my show today, I dug out those old vinyl albums — and still remembered every word. Klein was one of the first of the new generation of comedians who wrote their own material and based it on the world they observed, instead of just doing schtick and jokes that other people had written. Like his contemporaries George Carlin and Richard Pryor, Klein had a special way with words and an easy relatability.

So, it was a real pleasure to spend an hour with him this afternoon, talking about his early days at The Improv, where Rodney Dangerfield was his mentor and friend — including an adventure the two had on a sailboat off Cape Cod — and other performers like Bette Midler were just starting to emerge. He also whipped out his harmonica to answer a listener’s question about one of Klein’s signature bits, the song “I Can’t Stop My Leg.” That led to revelations about the sexual appeal of the harmonica and his early doo-wop group, The TeenTones, who appeared on Ted Mack’s Original Amateur Hour (losing the competition to a one-armed piano-playing postal worker from Missouri!).
Turning the conversation back towards comedy, Klein shared his thoughts on Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin, whether he and Carlin were competitors, how Pryor was the best stand-up comedian he ever saw, and more.
He also told the story from his teen years of saving a kid’s life while a lifeguard in the Catskills. That’s one of the memories he wrote up in his book, “The Amorous Busboy of Decatur Avenue: A Child of the Fifties Looks Back.” If you’ve enjoyed Klein on stage or on screen, you’ll enjoy this memoir.
Klein, who did HBO’s first-ever “On Location” comedy special back in 1975, will do his eighth show for the network in December. He told me that he’s looking at packaging up his previous specials for a boxed set to be released next year.
