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.

and Minkin's opponent check-called her continuation bet of 2,200. Both players checked when a 
came on the turn. 
completed the board on the river and this time the small blind player led for 4,500. After some thoughts, Minkin chose to call but mucked her hand when her opponent tabled 
for the flush. "Ok, just so you know, from now on I'm playing good, no more call!" said Minkin with a smile.
and Foxen checked once more. Merlin bet 2,400, leaving him with around 12,000 left behind and Foxen chose to let it go.
with a pot around 6,000, Matt Berkey had bet 4,600 and got called by his opponent after a short tank. Berkey tabled 
for two pair, which was enough to make his opponent muck his hand.
