. The player in the BB checked, Kaplan bet, the BB check-raised, and Kaplan called. The turn brought the {4-Hearts}

and both players checked. The river was the {9-Diamonds}

. The BB bet 1,250, Kaplan called, and the BB showed {9-Clubs}

for a rivered two pair. Kaplan mucked, and is now on a short stack of 2,500.
