Value Bet from Laak

It's been a solid start for Phil Laak. Calling a preflop raise from Francois de Quidt with {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, the Unabomber made "a non-traditional check" on a {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop before leading out for around 35 percent of the pot on the {3-Clubs} turn.

"At this point, I was pretty sure that he had something like king-eight or ace-eight," explained Laak.

De Quidt made the call, leading to a {5-Clubs} turn where, after his opponent had checked, Laak decided to take his foe to milkitville by making a value bet of 14,000.

De Quidt didn't seem overly pleased, but made the call. Laak immediately revealed his top pair and De Quidt released his hand.

Laak now right up to 85,000 and with a great chance of making his debut on a WSOPE final table. Could this be the week Laak silences Antonio Esfandiari's "Your Mrs. has won a bracelet" chants?

Bansi Seeing Double

Praz Bansi shot out of his chair in that familiar motion that usually means he's sweating an all in. We hustled over to Table 4 to see what the fuss was all about. Bansi was indeed at risk for his last 46,500 chips preflop, up against the big stack of Andrew Pantling. The news was good for Bansi as the cards were turned up; he was in perfect shape wto double with {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} against {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds}.

A Bansi fist pump ensued as the board ran clean: {6-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. That spells a big double up for the Brit, all the way up over 90,000. On the flip side, it was quite a hit for Pantling, and losing about half his stack has knocked him back around the 50,000-chip mark.

Laak Down

First in from the button, Phil Laak raised to 3,200 to open the pot. Eli Heath called from the small blind, and the two men went heads up the rest of the way.

The first three cards off the deck were {Q-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, and the action check-checked. Heath led out with a bet of 4,800 on the {7-Spades} turn, and Laak didn't waste too much time with the call. The river {8-Spades} saw Heath lead again, 7,200 this time. Laak spent about a minute mumbling at his opponent lightheartedly before splashing the calling chips into the pot.

Heath showed {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}, and top pair-top kicker was the winner-winner. Laak has slipped to about 44,000 now.

A Little Love for Liv

Under the gun, Liv Boeree opened to 2,800, and she found a call in one place as James Sykes came along from the big blind.

The two players took a flop of {A-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {A-Clubs}, and Sykes check-called a continuation bet of 3,100. The {10-Hearts} on fourth street drew two checks. That brought them to the {3-Clubs} river, and Sykes took the betting lead now. He fired out 6,500 chips, and Boeree took a bit of a pause before moving all in for just about 20,000 total. It was the winner; Sykes scowled and quickly mucked, and that pot boosts Boeree up around the 35,000-chip mark.

Inman's Big Bluff

With the board reading {10-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {6-Clubs} {3-Spades} {J-Spades} Lawrie Inman fired out a bet of 6,600 before Iikka Tahkokallio raised to 18,600. Inman then pushed all-in for 27,500 more and the Finn tanked for nearly seven minutes before finally folding after the clock had been put on him.

Inman flipped {10-Hearts} {9-Spades} and Tahkokallio confessed to folding {9-} {8-} for the bottom end of the straight.
