The cutoff raised to 1,800, and Joe "Stapes" Stapleton, who hasn't played a WSOP event since 2008 as he said earlier on Twitter, called on the button.

The cutoff bet another 1,800 on the {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop, and Stapleton called.

On the {9-Clubs} turn, the cutoff bet 5,200, and Stapleton called again.

Both players checked the {8-Hearts} river, and the cutoff turned over {k-Spades}{9-Hearts} for nines-up.

"Oh, you are good..." Stapleton said before mucking his hand.
