Not Much Going On

There hasn't been much action at all this level. Without any hands being played much further than a raise prelop or maybe a bet on the flop, the hands are going back quick. With the blinds going up every 21 hands, things should start getting more pricey real soon.

Level: 7

Blinds: 15,000/30,000

Ante: 0

Laak Takes the Lead

David Benyamine held the {K-Spades}{J-Spades} and Phil Laak held two black tens on the board of {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Benyamine checked and Laak fired 200,000. Benyamine called and that brought the pot to 690,000.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and Benyamine checked. Laak fired "almost all of it" as stated by the dealer. Benyamine folded and Laak scooped the chips to take over the chip lead.
