Santiago Plante doubled through Eric Schanck to give himself a much-needed chip boost, but just a few hands later they crossed swords again and Eric got the best of it – for the rest of Plante’s chips.
Plante got the ball rolling in the hand by raising all-in from utg for what we soon learned was exactly 1.5M. When action came to Eric he thought for a bit, and eventually re-raised to 2.9M to isolate, successfully, and the cards were turned over.
Santiago: 
Eric: 
Eric wasn’t surprised to see a better pair but that’s not to say he was happy about it. The community cards came out 
and Santiago stacked a decent slice of Eric’s stack.
A few hands later, though, the shoe was on the other foot. Ruben opened to 450K – always a daunting prospect with his huge chip lead – but Santiago wasn’t intimidated and shoved all in. Omid Shahbazian was the next to act but folded after a little thought, and action was back on Eric, by far the most active player at the table so far.
Eric chose to shove over the top for about 25bb which was enough to convince everyone else to exit the hand and the cards came out.
Eric: 
Santiago: 
Santiago was behind, and the baby card flop – 
added some thin chop possibilities but not much else. The turn was the 
and river :3.
All of his activity today is paying off – Eric Schanck is up to about 8.5M so far.
7th place: Santiago Plante, $15,260.00
