Payback for Laak

Vincent Dalet opened to 3,9000 again, this time from under the gun. Phil Laak quickly called from the button, and it was just the two of them the rest of the way.

The flop came {7-Clubs} {6-Spades} {Q-Spades}, and Dalet continued out with a bet of 6,100. Laak sloppily raised to something like 28,200, committing about 75% all of his remaining chips to the pot. Dalet announced an all in, and Laak quickly stuck the rest in there, now at risk for his tournament life.

Laak's {Q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} were in the lead, but he'd need to sweat the spades against Dalet's {A-Spades} {3-Spades}. "Okay, we got a race," Laak said in jest. "John (Tabatabai, at the adjacent table)! John Tabs! I'm outta here. Here's my stuff." Laak stood and began to gather his belongings as the dealer put a safe {2-Hearts} down on fourth street. "Good game guys, it's been a real pleasure," Laak continued, but the river was safe too, the {8-Hearts}.

"Oh. An accident!" Laak said, surprised to still be afloat. He's doing better than just "afloat" now after finally getting his chips back from Dalet. "The Unabomber" is up to 94,000 courtesy of that double dip.

Laak - 94,000
