Phil Laak's stack is all over the place this morning. After being crippled down to 50,000, we watched him double up from the big blind by raising all in over the top of button player Vadim Shlez's open-raise to 13,000. Shlez sighed in frustration, asked for a count, then called. Shlez's two-by-four, {4-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

, was behind Laak's {k-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

. Despite Laak's raised eyebrow (as if to say "Am I really going to be taken out of a EUR 10,000 event by deuce-four?") a board of {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

gave Laak the double-up. He has since increased his count to 170,000.
