Laakin' Better
Ilan Rouah opened to 5,500 from the button and Phil Laak reraised to 43,400 leaving himself just 7,000 behind. Rouah decided to call and the rest of the chips went in on a 
flop with Laak's 
still ahead of Rouah's 
. The 
increased the chances for Laak and the 
was unneccesary if not welcome.
Laak is back over the 100,000 mark but Rouah still has over 200,000.
