No Laak of Imagination

Phil Laak raised under the gun to 6k. No one seemed interested until it passed to cutoff Ted Lawson, who moved all in. With only 11,200 to call, Laak still thought about it a good long time, saying, "You have eights?" before making the call with a sigh. He flipped {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

, up against {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

.

The flop: {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

- the table's eyebrows raised a little higher.
The turn was the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

but the

{A-Clubs}

came on the river to double up the short stack.

"So that's your raising range under the gun?" asked Andreas Hoivold.
"I thought I had pocket threes," responded Laak.
