Lappin Left Out in the Cold
PokerNews caught up with David K.Lappin after he busted a short while ago.
His day was going really well at the second break when he reached a day-high 65,000, but from there not a lot went right for the Irishman.
He had is aces cracked by a Spanish opponent holding five-six off suit in a four-bet pot. Then just before the break a five-bet pot left him crippled.
There was a cut-off raise to 825 that K.Lappin three-bet to 1,775 from the button. The small blind then decided to cold four-bet to 4,200 and this was enough to force out the original raiser but not k.Lappin who five-bet all in for 28,000 with ace-king. His opponent called all for 24,000 with pocket tens and held on a queen high board.
After the dinner break he shoved twice and was called the second time. His pocket nines were no match for an opponents aces.
