Laak Hanging On

Level 5

PLH

Preflop Phil Laak was already all in and there were two other players who were involved in a side pot. The flop came {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} and the player in the big blind bet out 5,000. The other player in the hand reluctantly folded and the remaining hands were revealed.

Laak: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Big Blind: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Laak had outflopped his opponent by hitting a pair of twos, and things only got prettier from there when the turn and river brought the {q-Hearts} and {k-Hearts} giving Laak a flush.

Laak now sits with 6,675 in his stack.
