Frieberg Fried By Laak

When we arrived at the table, Phil Laak, Nick Binger, and Alex Freiberg were playing a pot with the board reading {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}. The pot had around 16,000 in it, and Freiberg bet out exactly that much, leaving himself around 12,000 behind. Laak counted out a pot sized reraised of 63,600, and slid it into the middle, and action was on Binger. He tanked for about 90 seconds before letting his hand, and Freiberg put the rest of his chips in. Laak showed {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for the nut low and a low flush. Frieberg mucked, and Binger looked visibly upset, saying that he had folded a higher flush. Regardless, Laak took the pot, boosting his stack to over twice the average in the room.
