Hand #5 -

Mike Sexton had the button in Seat 6. Mike Sowers raised to 85,000, Phil Laak moved all in for 165,000 from the small blind, Nenad Medic reraised to 350,000 from the big blind, and Sowers folded.

Laak {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

Medic {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

Again, Laak's jacks were up against a higher pair. The flop was {K-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}, the turn was the {9-Diamonds}, the river was the {5-Clubs}, and Phil Laak was eliminated in ninth place. He'll take home $74,448 for his performance.

Phil Laak's girlfriend, Jennifer Tilly, is in the audience, and when that king fell on the river she looked positively stricken. While Phil took the beat with his customary ebullience, Tilly sat shaking her head in disbelief. Sometimes sitting in the bleachers is harder on the nerves than playing.
