Laplante Wins Monster Pot to Take Chip Lead

Ryan Laplante

Cole Lane opened for 7,000 from early position and found calls from Ryan Laplante and Seneca Easely, who were in the hijack and button respectively. The {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop saw Lane check, Laplante bet 9,600, and Easley fold.

Lane thought for a moment before announcing all in for around 110,000 total, but knew he was in trouble when Laplante snap-called.

Showdown
Laplante: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Lane: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Lane picked the wrong spot as Laplante had flopped a set, and the {2-Diamonds} turn left the former drawing dead. After the {5-Spades} was run out on the river for good measure, Laplante was pushed into the chip lead.

Meanwhile, Vitaly Meshcheriakov has made some moves today and finds himself just behind Laplante.
