The Phil Laak Sideshow Rolls Into Town

[user67765]

Phil Laak just took down another pot and following the hand said "$5 to anyone who wants to see a card!"

One player obliges and Laak showed the {Q-Diamonds}

.

"Haha--now this seat only cost me $9,995!" laughed Laak. "How do you feel now, dork?!?"--implying that his opponent had now paid $10,005 for his seat. The table burst into laughter. It's great to see Laak back to his usual antics at the table.
