Laak Drops The Hammer

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante
Phil Laak
Phil Laak

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.
