Laplante Brings the Action

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

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 {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} face up.

Franco Amorelli: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Lloyd Mandel: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

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 {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop. However, none of that mattered after the dealer fanned the {8-Clubs} on the turn and {j-Diamonds} on the river, which gave Amorelli a full house and a full double-up.
