Lapka Doubles with Big Slick

Brett Slezak

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A player in the hijack opened to 1,300, the small blind called, and Justin Lapka three-bet to 8,000 from the big blind. The hijack tanked for a while before he tossed out a four-bet to 35,000. The small blind mucked before Lapka five-bet shoved for 62,000 and the hijack called it off.

Justin Lapka: A♣K♣ All in
Hijack: Q♣J♣

The board ran out 10♠10♣6♣5♥10♥ and ace-high was good for Lapka who scored a massive double late in Day 1.

Fan favorite Cody Daniels was seen accumulating at a nearby table, increasing his stack by over 100,000 in an hour.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Phil Laak has been coasting for much of the day and has yet to be seen in any significant pots.

In a recent hand, Laak opened to 1,200 from under the gun and was called by the player on the button and both players in the blinds.

It was checked to Laak on the A♣4♣K♣ flop and he continued for 1,800. Everyone folded in turn and Laak padded his stack.

Tyler Foran

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Georgios Skarparis opened 1,500 on the button and Marco Meisser defended the big blind.

When the Q♦7♦6♠ flop hit the felt, Meisser check-called a bet of 1,500.

The 8♥ fell on the turn and Meisser checked to Skarparis who fired 4,000. Meisser responded with a check-raise all-in for 15,700, and Skarparis made the call.

Marco Meisser: Q♥7♠ All in
Georgios Skarparis: Q♠10♠

Skarparis was behind to the two pair of Meisser but still had outs to catch up as he picked up a gutshot straight draw but the 4♦ river was a brick as the chips were sent the other way.
