Laak is a Beast

Limit Hold'em

Phil Laak raised under the gun and ended up being raised by the player in the cut off, Laak then moved all in. Laak held {3-Spades}{5-Spades} while his opponent in the cut off had {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

The cards came out {3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} giving Laak two pair fives and sixes. After the hand we heard Laak saying "I'm a beast. I'm a beast. I'm such a beast my cards need to be caged at times".

Soon after though a short stacked Laak was eliminated after his {Q-Spades}{j-Spades} failed to hold up to his opponent's {A-Clubs}{j-Spades} on a {5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.
