We missed the start of the preflop betting but we saw a three-bet from Mike LaRocca on the button to 35,000. Ryan Van Sanford called in the big blind and Jacob Snider moved four-bet shoved.

LaRocca took his time, standing up, and saying “there’s no way I fold this hand.” He moved all-in as well before Snider and LaRocca witnessed a snap call from Van Sanford. And it was on.

LaRocca:

The adjacent table joined the rail around the table but the aces never had a sweat as the board ran to send the needed triple to the former WPT champ.

Jacob Snider – 240,000 (40 bb)
Ryan Van Sanford – 190,000 (32 bb)
Mike LaRocca – 88,000 (15 bb)
