Laplante Continues to Grow His Stack

Jesse Fullen

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ryan Laplante raised from early position and was called by the player in the hijack. The small blind and big blind player elected to fold and the remaining two went to the flop.

Flop:

Laplante checked his option and the player in hijack put out a bet of 4,000. Laplante snap-raised to 1,100 and his opponent quickly called.

Turn:

Both Laplante and his opponent checked and the river came completing some straight draws.

Laplante took a few moments considering what he wished to do before eventually checking his option. His opponent in late position checked back and Laplante turned over his cards.

Laplante:

Laplante's opponent patted the table with a "nice hand" and the pot was pushed to Laplante.
