Laplante��s Cashing Stream

Through the first 22 events of the 2020 WSOP online series, no player had cashed more events than Learn Pro Poker founder and coach Ryan "protential" Laplante, who had 14 scores to his credit (more than any other player) totaling a combined $35,163.

While Laplante failed to make any final tables, let alone win one, his consistency was a testament to his hard work and professionalism as a poker player. The former bracelet winner epitomized what it means to be a grinder.

However, what was really impressive last week was the fact that Laplante had cashed the nine tournaments in a row.

On July 23, Laplante was looking to make it ten in a row in Event #23: $500 NLH Knockout, but despite collecting a pair of $100 bounties, he failed to make the money payouts. With that, the streak game to an end, though it��s certainly not the end of Laplante in the 2020 WSOP.

Notable Mention �C Hun Wei Lee

Hun Wei Lee

In the GGPoker portion of the WSOP, Event #37: $1,050 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha attracted 971 entries and was played in a PKO format. In this instance, half of the buy-in went to the bounty pool and the other half to the regular prize pool. Whenever a player scored a knockout, they received half of the bounty with the other half being added to their own.

As a result, the winner of the tournament was not only slated to get a big payday from the regular prize pool, but also one from the final PLO bounty. That was evidenced by the victory of Australia��s Hun Wei Lee, who won the tournament for approximately $79,000 from the main prize pool plus more than an $82K PKO bounty for total winnings of $161,886.

It��s not often that a player wins more in bounties than the first-place prize!

In the final hand of the tournament, Janne Peltoniemi was down to 10 big blinds and got them in with K?8?8?7? against the A?J?10?10? of Lee. The 9?3?A? flop was big for Lee, who was left fading only an eight after the 2? turn. The river was a 5?, shipping the bracelet to Lee and eliminating Peltoniemi, who exited with $64,246 in combined prize money. That��s a big difference between first and second place, making Lee��s performance a noteworthy one.
