Monster Pot to Kaplan

Andrey Pateychuk raised to 200,000 from middle position only to have Nelson Robinson raise to 500,000 from the cutoff. The button and small blind got out of the way, and Gregory Kaplan opted to four-bet to 925,000 from the big blind. Pateychuk got out of the way, Robinson moved all in, and Kaplan snap-called off his 5.685 million.

Showdown
Kaplan: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Robinson: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Robinson picked the wrong time to move all in, though he wasn't the one at risk. We'd like to say there was a good sweat, but the board ran out a rather uneventful {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{K-Spades} and Kaplan doubled to 12.5 million; meanwhile, Robinson was left with just 1.1 million.
