Laak Cracks Aces for Early Double
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
With players heads up and the board reading J♥5♣2♣, Phil Laak bet 10,200 and was raised to 29,100 from his opponent. Laak took 30 seconds to verify whether or not there were reentries available in the tournament and, after confirming that there were, moved all in for 47,000. His opponent snap-called with a covering stack to put Laak at risk.
Phil Laak: J♠J♣
Opponent: AxAx
Laak had flopped top set for the nuts and remained ahead on the 7♣ turn and 2♥ river to secure a full double up.
