Juanda Cancels Kaplan's Show

Gabe Kaplan chats with Barry Greenstein before his Round of 32 match
Gabe Kaplan chats with Barry Greenstein before his Round of 32 match
Team FullTilt Pro John Juanda has just eliminated actor turned poker player Gabe Kaplan from the tournament to clinch a spot in the 'Sweet 16.'

Juanda put a very short-stacked Kaplan all in before the flop and Gabe made the call:

Juanda: {K-Spades} {8-Diamonds}
Kaplan: {9-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}

Left to the fate of the community cards, Kaplan watched as the board filled out {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {6-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {7-Clubs} giving Juanda top pair and a victory in the match. Juanda will play online stud Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier in the Round of 16.
