Slow Bleed for Laak

Phil Laak raised from the cutoff and received a call from the player in the big blind. When the flop came down {4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, the big blind checked, Laak bet, and the big blind check-raised. Laak called and then mucked when his opponent led out on the {9-Hearts} turn. The "Unabomber" left himself just 2,900.

To make matters worse, he lost another 1,000 on the next hand after raising preflop and then folding to a turn bet.
