What Does Lapossie Have?

Only Lapossie and the TV guys know.
Only Lapossie and the TV guys know.
Marc Goodwin made it 65,000 and Matt Lapossie in the big blind was the one and only caller. They saw a {6-Clubs} {7-Spades} {Q-Hearts} flop which they both checked.

They saw a {J-Hearts} turn as well and this time Lapossie bet out 88,000. Call. They saw finally an {8-Spades} river as well, and now Lapossie bet out 147,000. Goodwin disappeared into the tank this time, and when he came out again he folded.

Cimpan Doubles, Still Very Short

Cornell Cimpan shoved for his last 90,000 from the small blind and Mike McDonald called in the big blind with {Q-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} ahead of Cimpan's {J-Clubs} {9-Spades} until the board of {4-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {K-Spades} was dealt out.

Cimpan has about 180,000 but still is the shortest stack still in the tournament.

Lapossie Just Can't Help Himself

Mihai Manole opened for 80,000 and Matt Lapossie made the call. Over to Asa Smith and he reraised to 260,000. Manole asked for a count on Smith, but passed -- and so back to Lapossie, who four-bet to 440,000. Smith dwelled up expressionlessly for some time -- and then announced all in. Before he'd even had time to push his stack into the middle, Lapossie had passed. Wow.

Goodwin Takes One from Lapossie

Matt Lapossie raised from the cutoff to 72,000 and Marc Goodwin called from the small blind. The flop came down draw-heavy, {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts}.

Goodwin checked and Lapossie fired 94,000. The turn brought the {2-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {A-Hearts} and both players checked again.

Lapossie tabled {Q-Spades} {4-Spades}, but Goodwin rivered an ace with {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}.

Phillips Continues To Run The Show

Phillips - Far and away the chip leader.
Phillips - Far and away the chip leader.
Despite doubling up Cimpan, Phillips is cruising on his table with about 3,800,000. All the other stacks on his table are shortish in the 20BB area.

Phillips took a pot back from Cimpan, raising to 60,000 preflop and seeing a call from Cimpan.

They both checked the {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {K-Hearts} to the river where Phillips bet 65,000 to win it.
