Ryan Laplante Shoves the River Against Thai Ha
Ryan Laplante opened to 50,000 from under the gun and three players called – including Thai Ha in the small blind.
Ha checked the [QcJd7h] flop and Damjan Radanov did the same in the big blind. Laplante continued for 125,000, leading John Riordan to fold on the button before Ha called and Radanov released.
The [5c] fell on the turn and Ha checked again – only to see Laplante bet 325,000. Ha called and he checked for a third time after the [7s] paired the board on the river.
Laplante took a few moments before he announced his next bet – sized at 850,000.
Ha went deep into the tank, using two time extensions and nearly a third before he eventually folded.
“Show the bluff.” Ha said hopefully, to which Laplante quickly replied, “No one ever bluffs in PLO.”
