Stewart Hits One-Outter to Stay Alive

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Leo Kaplin and Calvin Stewart piled about 40,000 into the middle preflop to receive a {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop. Stewart open-shoved for 17,300 and after a brief deliberation, Kaplin made the call.

Calvin Stewart: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Leo Kaplin: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Kaplin made a great read with Stewart drawing to a single out. That out, unfortunately, peeled off on the turn as the {9-Clubs} landed giving Stewart and set.

The {4-Spades} fell on the river sending the pot to Stewart.

Kaplin Takes Out Two More

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Leo Kaplin opened to 7,500 from early position before the player in the cutoff three-bet shoved for 41,400. A short-stacked player in the big blind put his last 15,500 in the middle and Kaplin called putting them both at risk.

Leo Kaplin: {j-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Cutoff: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Big Blind: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Kaplin turned a flush on the turn of a {5-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} board and scooped the pot, sending both of his opponents to the rail.
