While most tables are calm and not too lively this early in the tournament we found a table with Phil Laak and Jean-Robert Bellande. These two are loud and getting the whole table involved and everyone seems to be having a good time.

Bellande and Laak were involved in a hand when Bellande raised to 125 preflop and Laak called. The flop ran out {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Laak checked from the small blind and Bellande bet 300. Laak raised all in and Bellande quickly folded.

The very next hand, a player from the button raised to 300 and Laak reraised all in. His opponent quickly folded. It looks like this table is going to see a lot of action today.
