Kaplan All in, All Grins

A player in middle position opened with a raise and it folded around to Gabe Kaplan who called from the big blind. The flop came {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Kaplan checked, his opponent bet 1,050, and Kaplan called.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs}, pairing the board. Kaplan checked again, and his opponent tossed out a single orange (5,000) chip, announcing a bet of 2,200. Kaplan sat for a moment, then set out his remaining stack of chips -- about 11,500 -- in front of him.

"All in?" asked the dealer of Kaplan. Kind of an obvious answer to that one. Kaplan chuckled and held his hands open to indicate that he didn't have anything else to put in the middle.

"Oh, all right," he said with a grin, and started to reach in his pocket to find more to bet. The players and dealer all laughed.

Meanwhile, Kaplan's opponent was in the tank, and after a couple of minutes let his hand go. Kaplan has chipped up to nearly 17,000.
