Kaplin Wins Three-Way All-In

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

With the board showing {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, two players committed their stacks and Shamel Thomas called, having both covered. The player in Seat 10 revealed her hand first ({3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}), which was way behind Leo Kaplin's flopped straight with the {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Thomas needed a lot of help with his {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

The {10-Clubs} turn and {7-Hearts} river completed the board, and Kaplin increased his stack to around 45,000. He added even more in the next hand against Jason Nablo and is now sitting with around 50,000.
