Kaplan Keeps it Going

Gregory Kaplan open-shoved his last 115,000 from the cutoff seat, and Marc-Andre Ladouceur called out of the small blind.

Showdown
Kaplan: {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Ladouceur: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Kaplan was in very bad shape, until the flop fell {7-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, giving him a leading pair of sevens. Ladouceur held the only club though, and could regain the lead with any club or the case three. The turn ({k-Diamonds}) and river ({a-Diamonds}) were both big red bricks however, and Kaplan more than doubled to 300,000 chips.
