Lappin Loses Chance to Triple Up
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
David Lappin open-raised to 74,000 from middle position, leaving only 10,000 behind. Nemo Israel called in the cutoff before Longmao Fan three-bet to 200,000 in the big blind.
Lappin quickly called off his final chips, and Israel eventually called as well. The 6♣10♥5♦ saw Fan add 75,000 to the side pot, but Israel quickly folded to give up on the pot.
David Lappin: A♣10♠ 
Longmao Fan: Q♦Q♣
Fan's ladies locked up the pot on the Q♥ turn, and Lappin said his goodbyes to the table as the meaningless J♦ river completed the board.
