Laplante Dodges a Wrap for Massive Double
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Sterling Savill limped before Ryan Laplante put in a raise to 72,000. Julien Sitbon called in the big blind, and Savill matched the bet.
The dealer fanned a flop of J?4?3?, and once checked to, Laplante continued for 80,000. Sitbon got out of the way, and Savill announced 'pot'. Laplante instantly put the rest of his 391,000 across the line and both hands were turned on their backs.
Ryan Laplante: A?A?Q?J? 
Sterling Savill: 7?6?5?4?
Laplante had a pair of aces and the nut flush draw, and was able to fade the wrap of Savill as the board completed with the 8? turn, and K? river.
