Phil Laak

Luke Schwartz raised to 16,00 with two red queens., Phil Laak called from the small blind with the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

and Giovanni Safina called from the big blind with the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

and everyone flopped something: Schwartz had two pair, Laak trips and Safina a flush draw. Action checked around to Schwartz. He bet 20,000 and both opponents called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

and action check to Schwartz. He checked as well.

The river was the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

and Laak checked. Safina checked and then Schwartz checked as well. Laak tabled the winning hand and Schwartz couldn't believe it. This hand was very reminiscent of the one from an earlier heat when Laak flopped a full house holding {K-?}

{K-?}

{7-?}

against Schwartz's pocket queens.
