Laplante's Stack Growing
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
At Katie Lindsay's table, the player under the gun opened to 1,200 and got called three times: by Ryan Laplante in early position, by the cutoff, and by the big blind.
On 5?9?7?, the first two players to act checked to Laplante, who bet 5,000. The cutoff called, and all other players in the pot folded.
The 8? landed on the turn, and this time, it was the cutoff who bet 7,000. Laplante checked and called to see the Q? on the river. He checked once again on this last street, and the cutoff checked back.
"Set," said Laplante, revealing 5?5?. Hearing that, the cutoff threw his cards into the muck and saw the pot going into Laplante's hands.
