Kaplan Going for it Early
The field remains seven handed, but there has been a great deal of early action. The pot following Kaplan's double was limped all around with Mikita Badziakouski, Devan Tang, Rui Cao and Leng Cheok Cheong all coming along for the ride.
Badziakouski led the 
flop for 5,000 with Cao making the call before Kaplin, now flush with chips, squeezed to 100,000 bringing folds from the rest of the table.
There was another small pot played directly afterward, which the newly arrived Wai Kin Yong took down with a flop bet before there were fireworks on the hand after.
There were several limps before Devan Tang raised to 16,000 from the cutoff. Kaplin decided to go for the limp re-raise and banged in 200,000 with Tang the only caller.

Jamie Kaplan: 
The flop came down a very big slick friendly 
with the 
turn and river locking up the hand for Kaplan, who climbed to what looks to be 350,000 while Tang calls for more chips - he still has 200,000 in chips from his initial buy-in after choosing to sit with just 100,000.
