Pagano Calls Kaplan's Bluff

On a {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop, Gabe Kaplan checked from the big blind and Luca Pagano bet 2,300.

"How much?" Kaplan asked the dealer.

"2,300."

"OK," he said, as he tossed out one orange 5,000 chip and three black 100 chips.

Confusion ensued, as many at the table believed Kaplan's action indicated a raise. The floor was brought over and the action was ruled as a call.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and both players checked. When the {K-Spades} hit the river, Kaplan led out for 3,100, leaving himself only 10,400 behind. After a bit of a dwell, Pagano made the call.

"Queen-high," Kaplan said.

Paganoshowed {4-Spades}{9-Clubs} for nines and sevens and took it down. He's on about 31,000 in chips.
