2016 WSOP bracelet winner and player of the year contender Ryan Laplante has taken the day off from the Rio and come to the M Resort to crush souls here in the Hollywood Poker Open Season 4 Championship Event for a change.
Off to a slow start, things just turned around when he and four others went five-handed to a 
flop. The first player to act simply shipped it in for 15,000, and Laplante was the only one with any interest, ultimately shoving and isolating with the

Earlier today Brent Harrington won the Media Freeroll - hosted by the Hollywood Poker Open - and he received a ticket to play in the $2,500 Championship Event.
Harrington played at a table with Eoghan O'Dea, and just now he was knocked out.
Harrington explained to us how he moved all in from the big blind for his final 8,000 chips, and the initial raiser shoved over the top. The caller in-between the two players folded, and Harrington's ace-five was up against king-queen.
The flop brought an ace, but both the turn and the river brought a king to send Harrington to the rail.

After successfully fielding a number of punts today, and dishing out more than his fair share of coolers, Matt Levine has reserved a spot among the leaders, heading into the day's eighth level.
The Las Vegas resident appears to have almost felted German Ferenc Riech at least once. Riech is fast developing a reputation as a player great at building stacks, but with some difficulty in holding on to them, after a 2016 Aussie Millions to remember.
He maintains that his 10th-place, 15th-place, and 11th-place runs in three events Down Under could hardly be considered punting, but he may have gifted Levine a few chips today.

We just saw Joseph Cheong depart from the tournament area, and it was James Gettinger who received his last chips. Gettinger leads the way in the tournament.
Gettinger explained how Cheong got his chips in holding pocket nines for a little over 20,000 chips, and the current chip leader made it work out with ace-king. Cheong will have the option to re-enter throughout today and until the start of Day 2 on Saturday.

Jesse Yaginuma made it 1,500 and the button called, before Michael Tureniec made it 5,350, three-betting out of the small blind.
Kitty Kuo turned tail and ran from the big, and after Yaginuma folded, the button called. Heads up on a 
flop, Tureniec continued for 3,800. The button called, and Tureniec fired 10,300 at the 
turn. The button called again, and when the 
river was revealed, they checked it down.
Tureniec turned over the 
and after the button mucked, he collected the pot

OG Ray Henson has had a smooth ride up the leader board here in the Hollywood Poker Open Season 4 Championship Event.
At this point he's over 100,000, cruising, and enjoying what he described as a "peaceful" grind. He did managed to make a set of eights against a player with top pair and a willingness to pay him off, to move up the counts, but has avoided the big confrontations for the most part.
"I haven't busted anyone," he said.
