Phil Laak Up, Down and Out the Door

Phil Laak was so engrossed in his book that the player to his left posted his small blind for him. Hmmm, must be a good book.

A few hands later, Eric Berkowitz raised from middle position and Laak called. Before the flop, Laak bet in the dark. The flop came A-Q-8, Berkowitz raised and Laak called. The turn was a deuce, Laak checked, Berkowitz bet and Laak called. A jack came on the river, Laak bet, Berkowitz raised and Laak called. Berkowitz turned over 8-8 for a set, Laak mucked his cards and started playing with his hand-held video game.

On the next hand, Laak was all-in with J-9 against 3-9. The board came 8-3-A-4-A, and Laak was out the door.
