Chaplin's on Fire

Joseph Chaplin won two big hands back to back.

With 80,000 in the pot, Chaplin and Jon Christensen saw a flop of {10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Christensen bet 50,000 and Chaplin flatted, taking us to the turn and the {J-Clubs} where Christensen check-called for 50,000 more.

The river brought the {9-Spades} and Christensen check-called another 125,000 before Chaplin turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for quads. That hand left Christensen with just 65,000.

On the next hand, Chaplin called a preflop all in bet for 130,000 before turning over pocket tens for a second time. His opponent held {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and couldn't improve when the board ran out. That hand brought Chaplin's count to 800,000.
