Kings for Kaplan

Greg Kaplan raised to 250,000 in early position and Jerry Van Strydonck made the call from the big blind. Van Strydonck proceeded to check-call bets of 325,000 and 880,000 on the {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop and {4-Spades} turn, bringing about the {6-Clubs} river. Both players opted to check and Van Strydonck rolled over {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for sixes and fives; however, Kaplan proudly flipped {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} for a higher two pair and the win.
