Velentzas Knocks Out Kaplan In A Flip; Polychronopoulos Out
Level 13
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
From the hijack a player raised to 6,000 and from one seat over Andy Kaplan moved his entire stack of 26,000 into the middle from the cutoff. Nicholas Velentzas moved all in for slightly over 60,000 and the big blind went into the tank before eventually folding and saying he had ace-king after the hijack folded.
Andy Kaplan: 
Nicholas Velentzas: 
It was a fair fight before the flop, but the 
flop left Kaplan drawing to one red nine in the deck. The turn 
sealed his fate with the river 
being just a formality and shook hands with his tablemates before exiting the tournament area.
One table over Athanasios Polychronopoulos was also eliminated from the tournament.
