Laak Coolered, Then Frozen

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Phil Laak - Busted
Phil Laak - Busted

Phil Laak opened to 450 from under the gun and Gabriel Nassif three-bet, and action folded back around to Laak who slid the rest of his chips in the middle, around 2850. Nassif quickly put calling chips out and tabled his hand.

Nassif: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Laak: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Laak was in bad shape and stood up to leave, until the {q-Clubs} was shown as the door card. Laak said "wow" and then heartbreak. The dealer slid out the flop revealing the {a-Spades} and {8-Diamonds} right behind the queen. The {k-Spades} on the turn and {6-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing and Laak fell victim to poker's evil side.
