River Suckout Saves Kaplan

We happened upon Gabe Kaplan's table as he sat in the big blind, facing a raise and a reraise. Kaplan looked like he was considering a shove, that is, until he caught sight of our reporter.

"I was thinking about it, but I don't want him writing about how bad I got it in," Kaplan said with a chuckle.

On the next hand, a middle position player opened for 1,400 and Kaplan three-bet to 5,200 from the small blind. His opponent moved all-in and Kaplan made the call. Kaplan's {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} was up against pocket aces, but he ended up rivering a Broadway straight, the board running out {7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{J-Clubs}.

Kaplan is up to 28,000.
