Ryan Laplante Looking to Add Another Bracelet in the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E Event

There will be 217 players returning to the felt for Day 2 of Event #15: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. It will be highlighted by many multi-bracelet winners looking to add to their résumés and capture the first-place prize of $202,787.

Among those already with that coveted piece of jewelry to their name include 14-time winner Phil Hellmuth, Ryan Laplante, Brian Hastings, Scott Clements, Brock Parker, Barry Greenstein, Rep Porter, and Brandon Shack-Harris. Hellmuth had a mediocre Day 1, really unable to build up a stack and will begin Day 2 with 20,100 chips.

The largest stack from that list of bracelet winners is Ryan Laplante who will bring 41,800 chips into Day 2. Laplante previously won his WSOP title in 2016 in the $565 Pot-Limit Omaha event and considers the mixed games one of his specialties. He has over $1.5 million in career tournament earnings and will be looking to add to that over the course of a full schedule this summer.

When the action gets underway at 12:00 p.m. PDT, the blinds will resume at Level 11 with another ten 60-minute levels to be played today. There will be a 15-minute break after every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after the sixth level. The money bubble is expected to burst before the dinner break with 110 places getting paid and a min-cash being worth $2,254.

Ian Johns completed to 1,000 and Brian Hastings raised with an eight showing. Johns just called leaving himself with very few chips behind. Hastings check-called on fourth and the two players got all of the chips in the middle on fifth.

Johns tabled {7-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for two pair and Hastings revealed {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. When the players received their final card, Johns made a seven-low with the {2-Spades} and Hastings was unable to improve, securing the double-up for Johns.

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Alexander Kuzmin raised from the hijack and Phil Riley defended from the big blind. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and both players checked to the {9-Spades} on the turn.

Riley quickly tossed in a bet and Kuzmin called to see the {2-Hearts} on the river. Riley nearly had another bet in the middle before the river hit the felt and Kuzmin quickly called. Riley flipped over {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the nut straight and the nut low. Kuzmin sent his cards to the muck and Riley scooped the pot.
