Plante Offers Some Advice to Magnus
Nadya Magnus opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Santiago Plante used his big stack to shove all in from the cutoff. With Magnus in the tank, Plante decided to offer up some advice.
"If it's close, I think you should fold. You cover three short stacks," he pointed out to the three shorties on Magnus' right. "You get to go after them, so you see if they're all in."
"Since the PLO8 tournament doesn't start for another 20 minutes, I'll let you have it," Magnus replied.
On the next hand, the action folded to Plante who ripped all in with short stacks only to follow. Magnus looked down at a reasonable holding in the big blind and decided to call this time.
Nadya Magnus: 
Santiago Plante: 
The flop came 
and Magnus made three aces to take the lead. The turn was the 
as Plante picked up a flush draw but the 
bricked out on the river to give Magnus the double.
