Total Day 1B Entries: 139

James Kaplan

Action was picked up on Table 76 after a flop of J♥7♣6♠.

Three players were in the hand and there were already close to 20,000 chips in the pot.

Small blind bet 6,700, forcing Joe "Mush" Galazzo out of the hand from the hijack seat, but James Kaplan called from the button.

Turn: 5♣

Small blind checked this time before Kaplan made the bet 11,000. Small blind quickly raised all-in and Kaplan immediately made the call.

Kaplan: 7♦7♠ (Set of 7s)
Small Blind: A♣A♠ (One pair)

The 2♦ on the river was a brick, doubling Kaplan up to nearly 100,000.
