Yesterday Phil Laak was commenting about the logos most of the other players were wearing (and the endorsement deals behind those logos). Today Laak showed up with a yellow Post-It note stuck to his shoulder advertising a mock website that he said would soon be bigger than them all. Unfortunately, Laak's new "sponsor" won't get as much airtime as he would have liked.

On his elimination hand Laak ran over to the camera and showed something scribbled on another Post-It. The note read, "PLEASE FOLD". No chance of that with Sexton holding aces, and sadly the Phil Laak Show is done for the day.
