Laak Picks Up Some Chips

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

The player on the button raised to 500 and Phil Laak called from the small blind. The flop ran out {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and both players checked.

The {10-Clubs} hit on the turn and Laak bet 1,000. His opponent made the call. The river brought the {4-Clubs} and Phil led out with 3,775. His opponent tanked for a moment before folding his cards into the muck.
