Phil Laak was crippled when he got all in on a flop reading {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

. Laak held {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

. The turn and river came {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

and

{K-Hearts}

, and Laak lost to his opponent who held {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

. This sent him tumbling down to just 175 chips.

On the next hand he played, he moved those chips into the center holding {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

{3-Spades}

. He ended up making the nuts with a Broadway straight, and quadrupled back up to 700.

Those 700 chips went into the pot shortly thereafter, with Laak holding {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

. His opponent held {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

. Trouble found Laak on the flop though, as it came out {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

. His opponent flopped a boat, and Laak's inability to improve his hand sends him out the door.
