A Kap Gun Fires Real Bullets

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

With the board reading {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds} by the turn James Kaplan's last 16,000 or so were committed with an all-in wager.

His opponent peered over from across the table and studied for a moment, before casually announcing "I'll call ya."

Kaplan quickly rolled over his {A-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and waited to see which draws he would be fading.

"Oh... nice hand sir," said his opponent. "I'm dead."

Every poker players fears the dreaded early congratulation, and Kaplan rightfully asked to see the other man's cards to confirm that he had no outs to speak of.

Sure enough, his opponent tabled the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for no pair and no draw, apparently reading Kaplan for a straight or flush draw with no pair. After the meaningless {8-Diamonds} dropped in on the river, the sizable pot was pushed to Kaplan, while the man tried to play the hero was left with just a 1,000 or so to work with.
