Laplante Brings the Action
Ryan Laplante had just been moved to his new table when this hand happened.
After James Ostrowski raised to 1,600, Laplante then three-bet to 5,000, which was met by a four-bet shove from Franco Amorelli in the cutoff. Action then folded to Lloyd Mandel in the small blind and he asked for a count. The dealer confirmed 41,500 total, at which time Mandel then five-bet shoved all in which got folds from Ostrowski, and then by Laplante who folded 
face up.
Franco Amorelli: 
Lloyd Mandel: 
After both players tabled their hands Amorelli saw that his pair was dominated by Mandel's much bigger pair, which was still troublesome on the 
flop. However, none of that mattered after the dealer fanned the 
on the turn and 
on the river, which gave Amorelli a full house and a full double-up.
