Kaplan Spikes a Set To Double Up

We don't know the exact action, but we do know there was about 20,000 in the pot when the flop came down {3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Kaplan managed to get the rest of his 68,400 in on this flop with {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, and he was up against his opponents {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, Kaplan would need to dodge an ace or a four to secure the hand, and he did that, as the board completed {8-Clubs} and {q-Spades}.

It's been a roller coaster day for Kaplan, and after that hand, he's back up to 157,000.
