There were five players that took a cheap {J-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts} flop, but only Laak and one other player saw the turn. It was a bet of 350 that Laak called, and he and his opponent checked through the {2-Diamonds} turn. On the river, the {3-Spades} drew a leading bet of 875 from the Unabomber, and he was quickly called.

Laak's {7-Spades} {7-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} was good enough to take the top half with a set of sevens, but his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} grabbed the low half. Still, Laak is up to 20,500 after picking up a few chips in that pot.
