Kaplan is Captain

With about 25,000 in the pot, on a board reading {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, Leo Kaplan checked from the big blind. The player on the button bet 10,000 and Kaplan immediately check-raised to 20,000.

The button thought for a moment and decided to move all in for 120,000. Kaplan snap-called.

Kaplan table {j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for two pair, jacks and threes, while his opponent showed {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a royal flush draw.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and the river was the {7-Diamonds}, sending the pot to Kaplan and his opponent to the rail.

Kaplan now has a top three stack and is looking to make his second final table in a row tonight after cashing in the opening event last night.
