River Suckout Saves Kaplan
We happened upon Gabe Kaplan's table as he sat in the big blind, facing a raise and a reraise. Kaplan looked like he was considering a shove, that is, until he caught sight of our reporter.
"I was thinking about it, but I don't want him writing about how bad I got it in," Kaplan said with a chuckle.
On the next hand, a middle position player opened for 1,400 and Kaplan three-bet to 5,200 from the small blind. His opponent moved all-in and Kaplan made the call. Kaplan's was up against pocket aces, but he ended up rivering a Broadway straight, the board running out .
Kaplan is up to 28,000.
