Phil Laak bet 37,000 with a pair of twos on the board of {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

. He held

{A-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

and was called by David Benyamine who held {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

. Benyamine held some backdoor draws and two overs in the float.

The turn brought the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

and Laak checked. Benyamine fired his bluff for 58,000 and Laak called.

The river was the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

and Laak checked again, looking to trap some more. Benyamine had no chance to win without betting and making Laak fold, but opted to just check behind and give up. Laak scooped the pot and took over the chip lead.
