Matthew Lapossie Wins With the Second Best Hand

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Matthew Lapossie, Maxx Coleman and Clint Baker just played a huge pot and at the end of it all, Lapossie won with what turned out to be the second best hand.

The flop was {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Baker checked. Lapossie bet 11,000 and Coleman called before Baker raised to 41,000. Lapossie then shoved all in and put Coleman in the tank. Coleman eventually folded what he said was bottom set.

Baker called the shove and showed {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a pair and a flush draw and was up against the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} of Lapossie.

"I play too much PLO," Coleman said after realizing his bottom set was good.

Lapossie went on to win the hand and stack almost 400,000 when the board ran out blanks and sent Baker to the rail.
