I know Kaplan has been around forever but does he actually play high enough and well enough to buy himself into a 100k tournament with expectation?

Isn't he a regular high stakes LA cash game player? And I'm sure he is rich from other business stuff also. He plays the 50K tourney at the wsop every year.

I guess that's my question is if anyone knows (speculates) if he's making enough money from poker to just blow a buyin, or if he has a partner or three...selling shares to afford it, etc...Just passing curiosity.*Edit* Alan, cool site...would be curious to know if their information is remotely reliable.

I kinda don't believe that he has been playing for so long and has never hit a royal flush.
I'm pretty sure he's said in a blog/somewhere that he's made on in another form of poker (I think Stud) but that he had never in Hold em.
