The trio took a monotone flop of 
and action checked around to the short-stacked Laak. He led out and Doft instantly raised the action. The middle position player called, Laak three-bet, Doft four-bet, and was called by both players. Laak called all in heading to the turn.
The turn was the 
and Doft led out. His opponent called in a side pot and the 
finished the board. Doft bet and his opponent called once more.
Doft rolled over 
which was good enough to win him the high with a club flush. The middle position player showed 
for the nut low and Laak tabled 
for the same low. Doft took the high and his two opponents chopped the low.
Doft now has about 65,000 while Laak is still representing the short stack with 6,300 in chips.
