Laplante Taken Down by Tehan

Shirley Ang

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Luis Yepez raised to 1,700 from middle position and Ryan Laplante three-bet to 4,500 from the hijack. Joe Tehan four-bet to 28,000, keeping 200 behind, from the button. The blinds folded and Yepez took some time before opting to fold too. Laplante called for the 21,500 he had behind.

Ryan Laplante: 9♣9♦
Joe Tehan: 10♥10♦

The flop came 9♥A♦6♥ for Laplante to hit a set.

The turn was the 10♠ for Tehan to hit the higher set before the 8♣ on the river didn't change the outcome.

Just For PokerNews!

Shirley Ang

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The board read 2♦10♣J♣2♣7♠ with around 25,000 in the middle.

Dongwoo Ko fired a bet of 32,000 out on the river from the big blind and stared out in front of him. Joe Tehan was in the tank on the button and went through all the options in his head. After a while, he opted to fold.

"Just for PokerNews!" Ko said with a huge smile before flipping his Q♣3♠ open for the bluff.

"What are you guys doing?" Richard Alati exclaimed, who had stayed behind to watch the end of the hand while the rest of the tournament had gone for their dinner break.

"I was so close!" Tehan said with some despair in his voice before showing the 3♥3♣ which would have won him the hand.

Ko just smiled even more while raking in the pot.
