No Laak of Confidence

A hooded Phil Laak has been sat in the same seat, quietly accruing chips all day. Seemingly headed only upwards, he's now on over 40,000 and just busted James Browning adding a few more to the stacks.

Browning shoved preflop over Laak's initial raise, and he made the call (another 3,850) with {A-Spades} {10-Clubs} , finding it ahead of Browning's {Q-Spades} {9-Spades} . No help from the board and Laak shook the exiter's hand and commenced restacking.
