Laak Doing His Homework
For the coverage, PokerNews has access to the holecard cameras in the production truck. Phil Laak knows this and has been checking the coverage on breaks in order to do some homework on his opponents at the table.
During play, the tournament staff has taken away all cell phones from the players and not allowed them to use any sort of communication devices while playing. During breaks though, a little extra work can go a long way.
