Jaime Kaplan opened to 600 in middle position. On the button, 2023 WSOP $50,000 High Roller winner Leon Sturm three-bet to 2,200. Virgile Turchi in the small blind and the big blind folded.
Action back to him, Kaplan decided to four-bet to 6,000. After some time, Sturm made the call.
On 5?A?A?, Kaplan continued to 3,000 and Sturm called. Then on the turn J?, Kaplan bet another 6,500. He was called once again.
The 9? came on the river, and Kaplan moved all in for 44,500. Sturm quickly called.
Jaime Kaplan: A?J?
Leon Sturm: A?J?
A little bit of sweat appeared on both players' forehead as they went all-in within the first 10 minutes of the Main Event. But not much as both had the best full house possible, and split the pot.
