Drake vs. Kaplin

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Leo Kaplin is one of the early leaders here in Event #1 but his stack just took a hit courtesy of Chris Drake. Kaplin raised to 3,000 from middle position and Drake called from the cutoff. Tim Kelly thought for a moment from the button before folding, and the blinds followed.

The flop rolled out {Q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Kaplin c-bet for 4,000. Drake responded with a raise to 12,000, and Kaplin called to see the {9-Spades} hit the turn. Kaplin slowed down with a check and Drake quickly announced "all in" for 16,000. Kaplin went into the tank but decided to pass. Drake showed the {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a massive draw/semi-bluff before raking in the pot.
