Not the Kind of Swap Laak Was Looking For

Phil Laak

There was about 8,000 in the pot when we walked up to a flop of {9-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds}. Tristan Wade checked, then raised Phil Laak's bet from 10,000 to 25,000 straight. Laak promptly moved all in over the top, and Wade called off the rest of his own chips, all in for about 60,000 total.

It was one of those flops; Laak tabled {4-Clubs} {5-Clubs}, smashed by Wade's {9-Spades} {9-Clubs}. The turn and river were not running quad cards for Laak, and he's sent a big double up over to Wade. The two men have essentially traded stacks now, Laak sitting with 58,000 to Wade's 120,000.
