Laak Drops The Hammer
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
While playing three-handed, Phil Laak raised to 1,800 from the small blind.
"How much did he raise?" the big blind player asked. "18? Alright 18 more"
Before the player could finish his words Laak dropped a stack of orange chips, worth 5,000 each, in the middle. This bet would put the player in the big blind all in. Clearly a little steamed at Laak's aggression, the player mucked his cards and Laak picked up the pot. The "Unabomber" is currently sitting healthy as the table's chip leader.
Dwan Bites the Dust
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
We caught up with the action on a 
flop and noticed Tom Dwan was already all-in preflop from the big blind. The small blind fired a 6,000 bet, which got a fold from the only other player in the hand.
Dwan: 
Opponent: 
Durrrr had a fighting chance with his open-ender, but the 
turn and 
river bricked for Dwan, who was eliminated.
Adams Out
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
We caught up just as Brandon Adams was all-in for his last few thousand, He was called by one player.
Adams: 
Opponent: 
The 
board left Adams without a pair, sending him to the rail.
Getzwiller Takes Control
We are unsure of the exact action, but Sean Getzwiller has just found a massive double through Brendon Rubie to take a commanding lead in their three-handed battle.
Getzwiller held 
to Rubie's 
, and after the board was spread 
, he doubled through to roughly 90,000 as Rubie was left crippled with under ten-big blinds.
