Speaking of Mr. Laak
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
We overheard Phil Laak mention that if he could get at least 15th place in this tournament, then he would qualify for the Epic Poker League. Laak's needs $20,298 to qualify and 15th pays $20,299 which would get him in by a single dollar.
As the current chip leader, we'll see if Laak can hold on as this is certainly something that he's been striving for all WSOP.
