Laak is a Big Fan of Asymmetric Peacocking
Phil Laak has been enthusiastically passing his phone and headphones around and asking his tablemates to watch a recent WSOP video of Phil Hellmuth that parodies David Attenborough nature documentaries.
Laak was particularly impressed by the reference to "asymmetric peacocking" on display as Hellmuth waltzes around with his tracksuit jacket half hanging off his body.
"This is the greatest piece of poker content I've seen in ten years," Laak told PokerNews.
Laak tried showing the video to Pedro Marques, but the high-stakes pro raised to 6,000 on the button. He would have to wait longer to show Marques the video, but not much longer, as Daniel Ghionoiu defended the big blind and then quickly check-folded on the flop of A♠2♣10♥.
Laak's patience paid off as he watched Marques chuckle over the video that had fully captivated the "Unabomber's" attention.
