Bracelet Winners Collide

Nível 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ryan Laplante raised to 2,000 in early position which saw a player in the hijack call and Cole Ferraro in the big blind call as well.

The flop of A♠A♥5♠ saw action check around to the 2♣ turn where Ferraro bet 2,500 which only Laplante called.

On the river 10♠, Ferraro checked over to Laplante who bet 7,200 and Ferraro sighed flashing 4♥ as he tossed his hand into the muck. Laplante showed A♦2♦ for aces full as he took in the pot from a fellow bracelet winner.

Kollar Gets a Double

Calum_Grant

Nível 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The middle position player opened to 1,500 before Forrest Kollar made it 4,000 from the cutoff. His opponent called.

The K♣2♥2♦ flop checked through to the 5♥ turn. Kollar bet 3,800 and was called.

Kollar then jammed for 13,000 on the K♥ river and his opponent called.

Kollar tabled Q♥Q♠ to best his opponent's 7x7x.

In last year's PokerNews Cup, Kollar finished in 3rd place for $92,095. Can the American put in another deep run this time around?
