No-Limit Hold'em

Moments after seeing Phil Laak take his seat after the first break of the day, Laak found himself with all of his chips in the middle preflop in a three-way pot. Laak turned over {a-}{k-} and was in trouble after seeing one of his opponents show the same hand {a-}{k-}, and the other tabling {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {10-}{5-}{4-}{7-}{6-} and his opponent with pocket nines had both players covered. He scooped the pot while scoring a double knockout, one of them being Laak.
