Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Kaplan's Back

Level 22 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/3,000)
Players Remaining: 17

James Kaplan had just over 20 big blinds, and got his remaining 564,000 in pre against Chris Tryba.  The two hands were tabled:

Tryba: A♣K         Kaplan: 5♣5♠

Flop: 10♣ J♠ Q♣

Turn: Q♠

River: 5

Tryba was in supreme shape, event having Kaplan's runner-club outs covered.  James would need to go perfect-perfect to make a full-house and win...and that's the exact runout he got.  The reaction over the river was more from the table than it was from the two players involved in the hand, as both continued on pretty straight faced as the chips were counted and shifted over James's way.

James Kaplan - 1,100,000
Chris Tryba - 800,000
