Kaplan Doubles Through Johnson

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Gregory Kaplan
Gregory Kaplan

Kyle Johnson raised to 205,000 from under the gun, and it folded to Gregory Kaplan on the button who shoved all in for his last 2.095 million. The blinds skedaddled, and Johnson called the reraise.

Johnson: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Kaplan: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The flop was great for Kaplan, coming {7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} to give him both straight and flush draws to go along with his two live cards. The turn brought the {J-Clubs}, completing the straight for Kaplan and making the {Q-Hearts} river no matter.

Kaplan catapults to 4.43 million, while Johnson slips to 2.625 million.
