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: 
Lane: 
Lane picked the wrong spot as Laplante had flopped a set, and the 
turn left the former drawing dead. After the 
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.
