Laplante Runs Into Kings

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante
Ryan Laplante in an earlier event

The player under the gun opened with a raise to 1,200, the next player to act called, and bracelet winner Ryan Laplante shoved from the button for 3,825. The binds got out of the way, the original raiser called, and the next player to act folded.

Ryan Laplante: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

Laplante's hand was second best and he needed help from the deck to survive. The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} which changed nothing, so Laplante's opponent took the pot to eliminate Laplante from this flight.

Boyd Loses Some

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

Dutch Boyd raised to 800 from under the gun, the player in the hijack called, and the big blind called, as well.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades} and the big blind checked. Boyd bet 700 and the hijack shoved for his last 1,550. The big blind folded and Boyd called to put his opponent at risk.

Dutch Boyd: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Hijack: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Boyd found himself trailing his opponent's flopped trips and needed to improve to win the pot. The {4-Clubs} turn and {3-Clubs} river changed nothing, so Boyd's opponent took the pot to double up.
