Malachy Hagan Finds the Right Fold

Dec 17, 2024

Malachy Hagan opens to 10,000 from under the gun and Ryan Laplante three-bets to 25,000 from the hijack. Hagan calls.

The flop comes Diamond JDiamond 10X 4 and Hagan check-calls a 10,000 bet from Laplante.

Hagan checks the Heart 5 turn and Laplante moves all in, covering Hagan who has just under 70,000 behind. Hagan folds and Laplante shows X AX A for an overpair before taking the pot without showdown. Hagan later mentions that he had folded X QX Q.

Hagan wins a few key hands shortly after to bring his stack to just under 250,000.

Malachy Hagan – 240,000 (48 bb)
Ryan Laplante – 235,000 (47 bb)
