Laak Loses One, But Still Doing Well

Phil Laak
Phil Laak

Phil Laak just dropped back to 66,000, but is still up more than double of what he started the day with.

From under the gun, Laak raised to 600 and found two callers, one in middle position and one in the cutoff seat. The flop came down {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Laak bet 1,000. The next player announced a raise and made it 1,600 to go, but was corrected by the dealer that he had to make it 2,000. He did so and the cutoff seat folded. Laak reraised and made it 6,050. His opponent called.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and both players checked. They also checked the {2-Spades} on the river. Laak showed the {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, but lost to his opponent's {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

Whats Going on in Orange?

Annette Obrestad
Annette Obrestad

A recent walk-through of the Orange Section has allowed us to gather a handful of chip counts. Including a Annette Obrestad double up.

We don't know exactly how the action went, but we do know Obrestad managed to get all in and at risk against an opponent holding {A-}{A-}. Obrestad's opponent possessed {K-}{k-} for second best. The board blanked out and Obrestad was awarded her double up. The young Norwegian pro has a long way to go though as her double up only put her at around 16,000.

Klein Adds To His Stack

Businessman Bill Klein, who has made multiple appearances on the TV show High Stakes Poker is among the field today.

In a recent hand, Klein opened to 800 from the button and his opponent directly behind him in the small blind called. The player in the big folded for a heads-up pot.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and the player in the small donk-bet for 1,100. Klein called.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and Klein's opponent led out again - this time for 1,500. Klein again called.

When the {9-Clubs} completed the board, Klein's opponent slowed down and checked.

"Twenty-two hundred," Klein announced.

"Call - you have a seven?" Klein's opponent asked.

Klein flipped over {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and his opponent said, "Oh, that's good too," and tabled {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

Klein scooped the pot with his superior two pair and is currently sitting on 32,000.

Scott Baumstein and an opponent were heads up with the board reading {7-Spades}{a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Baumstein's opponent led out for 1,050 (into a pot of around 1,675), and Baumstein called.

The river was the {10-Hearts}, and Baumstein's opponent led again - this time for 1,250. Baumstein shrugged, then called, and his opponent tabled {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for a set of queens.

Baumstein slipped to 11,300. Here are some more counts from the Blue Section of the Amazon Room.

Savage Picks One Up on Onnit Player Weiss

We don't know exactly how the action went before the flop, but we do know that Matt Savage managed to get heads up against Michael Weiss. The flop read {3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Michael Weiss bet out 2,000 from the small blind. Savage wanted more and raised it to 4,000. Weiss made the call and it was off to the turn.

The {7-Hearts} on the turn saw Weiss simply check and Savage bet out 6,000. Weiss again made the call. The dealer then plopped the {j-Hearts} on the river and Weiss knuckled, prompting a bet of 9,000 from Savage. Weiss again made the call.

Savage flipped over {A-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for a king high flush and Weiss dropped his cards in the muck. This hand almost boosts Savage to starting stack.

Weiss is competing in the Onnit Last Sticker Standing Contest, and despite this recent hit Weiss has plenty of time to build it back up.
