On a board of {Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, Manny Stavropoulos fired out a pot -sized bet and Phil Laak moved all in. Stavropoulos called.

Stavropoulos: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

Stavropoulos was ahead with a straight. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Laak was eliminated. The Unabomber was nevermore.

Table Talk: The Unabomber

On a board of {Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}, BoDog Ari bet and his opponent folded. He showed the {Q-Diamonds} which prompted Phil Laak to make a comment.

"That's the first time you showed a card all day. Does that mean all the other times you were bluffing?"

BoDog Ari laughed, as did most of the table.

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Spades} and Laak got a much-needed double-up to 21,000.
