Laak Doubles

Frank Op de Woerd

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

When we arrived the dealer was busy counting Phil Laak's chips. After several counts and recounts, it was decided Bart Hanson owed Laak 35,275. On the table was | | and Laak still had in front of him. With that flush he had beaten Hanson's top set of aces it appeared.

Laak was talking rapidly like we're used of him, but we did pick up that he found his won play in the hand not optimal. Well, that not so optimal play got rewarded, as he now plays a little shy of 75,000.

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

The players are back from their 90-minute dinner break, refreshed and with full bellies!

The plan is to play another two levels and have a 20-minute break, followed by one more level and another 20-minute break, followed by two more levels before bagging up for the night.

This means our coverage will be wrapped up by around 2 a.m. Stay tuned!
