Laplante Sends Soderstrom to the Rail
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
Ryan Laplante opened for 1,600 from the hijack and David "ODB" Baker called from the cutoff. Tomas Soderstrom then three-bet jammed all in for 14,300 from the big blind and Laplante called. Baker got out of the way and the cards were turned on their backs.
Ryan Laplante: 
Tomas Soderstrom: 
Laplante was ahead but Soderstrom was drawing to two live cards. Fortunately for Laplante, the board ran out a lowly 
and his ace-high took down the pot.
Soderstrom isn't done though as he immediately opted to re-enter the tournament.
