Kaplan Surges Over a Million, Leaves Makulik Short-Stacked
Level 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
There were already around 200,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 10♦5♣Q♥ when Paco Kaplan checked and Mateusz Makulik bet 65,000. Kaplan put in the check-raise, Makulik shoved, and Kaplan snap-called for his stack of 489,000.
Paco Kaplan: 10♣10♠ 
Mateusz Makulik: A♣Q♦
Makulik had flopped top pair but was in no man's land against the set of Kaplan. A J♣ on the turn did give a glimmer of hope to Makulik, but the 6♣ on the river was no good, and he sent most of his stack over to Kaplan.
