Lappin’s Kings Get Cracked
There is no reason to smile unfortunately, as David Lappin has just been eliminated in cruel fashion. Yasen Dichev had raised and Lappin three-bet small to 13,500 on the button. Vladut Paun called in then small blind and Dichev four-bet to around 35,000. Lappin moved all in to force a fold from Paun, while Dichev called with the far superior stack.
David Lappin: :::Ks:::Kc
Yasen Dichev: :::Js:::Jc
The board came :::9s:::7h:::3h:::Jd:::5s and the jack on the turn spelled the end for Lappin before the money.
| Yasen Dichev | 330,000 | 82,000  |
| David Lappin | 0 | -90,000  |
