Arkadiy Tsinis raised to 65,000 from middle position and found three callers in Paul Nash, Ryan Laplante and Pim de Goede. We went to the flop in our first multiway pot in what seemed like ages.
Flop:
The action was checked around to Laplante, who fired a bet of 140,000 into the middle. This move was met by an all-in shove by de Goede, and after the other two players got out of the way, Laplante made the call.
Showdown:
de Goede:
Laplante:
Pim de Goede had flopped trip tens but Laplant was drawing live with his flush draw, gutshot straight draw and straight flush draw. Any jack or non-seven heart would give Laplante the win.
Turn:
River:
Despite his multitude of outs, Laplante bricked out and de Goede scored the double-up. He pumped his fist in excitement after fading every draw, while Laplante shipped nearly half of his stack across the table
After the recent elimination of David Aldridge, the play here at the final table has slowed to a snail's pace. The last five hands dealt have been won with single preflop raises.
With the spotlight and cameras now on each of our nine official final table members, nobody wants to be the first to make a mistake and respect is being given to the preflop aggressor.
