Welcome Back, Kaplan

Gabe Kaplan has just shown up to Table 151 in the green section followed by a team of cameramen and sound guys. He took his seat in the middle of an orbit and had to wait until the big blind hit him to play a hand. There wasn't anything happening for about five minutes, but the camera crew still had their lenses trained on Kaplan. "I'm so good they let me play with no chips," he joked.

Once he was presented with his stack of chips, the actor-turned-pro wasted no time getting his feet wet. On a flop of {Q-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}, Lana Maier and Kaplan checked, and the third player in the hand bet 1,600 from late position. Maier check-raised to 4,000, Kaplan overcalled, and the original bettor ducked out.

The turn card came the {3-Diamonds}. Maier checked this time, and Kaplan made a bet of 7,000 as the TV cameras crowded in closer. Maier tanked for a good while before thinking better of it and mucking her hand.
