Meeusen Eliminates Laplante

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante
Ryan Laplante
Ryan Laplante

A short stacked Ryan Laplante was in the big blind with 225 chips. The under the gun player raised to 1,000 and Kevin Meeusen called from the cutoff. The small blind folded and Laplante was at risk for his tournament life.

Both players checked down the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{q-Clubs} runout and Laplante tabled his {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a pair of jacks. The under the gun player showed {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Meeusen turned over {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and his pair of queens on the river was enough to earn him the pot and eliminate Laplante.
