Laak came into the day atop the leaderboard with 32 points. He earned another 16 points for this finish and boosted his total to a whopping 48. Along with that, Laak's taken home $32,000 each time he has won and now has earned a total of $96,000. That's just $4,000 short of the buy-in for this event and he's now basically free-rolling the rest of the way.
"I feel like Isildur did before the down swing," said Laak to presenter Kara Scott after his victory. He'll do his best from here to make sure there is no down swing.
