Laplante Doubles Through Burns

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Ryan Laplante
Ryan Laplante

Ryan Laplante opened the betting from under the gun. The player on his left called and everyone else folded round to Kahle Burns, who three-bet to 39,000. When it came back to Laplante, he went all in over the top for 114,000 total. The caller passed and Burns made the call.

Kahle Burns {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Ryan Laplante {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The flop brought out {2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Spades} and Burns, having been the preflop favorite, was now looking for the case queen. The {6-Diamonds} turn and {10-Hearts} river didn't help and he was left very short, just as the table was broken.

Berry Doubles Through

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Paawan Bansal raised to 11,500 from early position and Andrew Brokos called on the button. With the action on Will Berry in the big blind, he moved all in for 69,500. Bansal quickly folded and Brokos called.

Will Berry: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Andrew Brokos: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Berry was in great shape to double up holding big slick against the suited ace-jack of Brokos, and he did just that after the {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} runout.
