Laying Down the Laidlaw
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Over at Table 8, action folded to Lennart Uphoff in the cutoff and the German put in a raise. Daniel Laidlaw, who was in the small blind, responded by moving all in for 46,000, Benny Spindler folded the big, and Uphoff made the call.
Uphoff: 
Laidlaw: 
It was a flip, but Laidlaw was the one at risk and in need of improvement. That's just what he found as the 
flop paired his ace and made him a heavy favorite. Neither the 
turn nor 
river was a dreaded eight, and Laidlaw was shipped the double.
