Laak's Slowplay Wins Small Pot

donpeters

Vanessa Rousso raised to 10,000 with the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

and Phil Laak just smooth called from the big blind with a crushing hand -- {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

and Laak checked, maybe not wanting to see the ace that fell. Rousso didn't attempt to bet at it and just checked behind.

The turn card fell the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

and Laak fired 17,000. Rousso folded her hand and got away cheap for what could have been a disastrous hand.
