The Chip Race podcast co-host David Lappin is one of the players the live reporting team is secretly rooting for. Well, I guess the secret is out of the bag but Lappin will need some hands or some luck soon as he is short on chips after the following hand.

Nicolaj D’Antoni opened for a min-raise from under the gun. Lappin defended his big blind for the two players to see the 6♣J♦7♦ flop. Lappin check-called a bet of 45,000 by D’Antoni before check-calling again for 90,000 on the A♦ turn. The Q♥ river completed the board and Lappin checked again. D’Antoni bet 180,000 and Lappin checked his cards one last time before he folded.

Meanwhile, Giuseppe Liotta hit the rail just after this hand to leave just 33 players remaining.

Nicolaj D’Antoni – 900,000
David Lappin – 400,000
Giuseppe Liotta – 0
