Kaplin Cracks Aces

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We didn't catch the action but a pile of chips had accumulated in the middle between Leo Kaplin and a heads-up opponent. The board read {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and both player's hands were face up.

Kaplin had top pair with the {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} but was behind his opponent's {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. The {9-Clubs} on the turn gave Kaplin some additional outs and as luck would have it, the {k-Spades} hit the river and Kaplin dragged in a sizeable pot.
