Turn the Laak and Hide the Kids, the Red Baron is Here!

Isaac Baron, who possesses the largest stack in the room, recently raised to 5,600 from the cutoff only to have Phil "Unabomber" Laak three-bet to 17,400 from the button. The blinds got out of the way while Baron made the call. When the flop fell {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Baron check-called a bet of 22,200 and the {9-Spades} appeared on the turn.

This time both players checked and watched the dealer put out the {K-Hearts} on the river. Baron lined up some chips and then committed 32,500 to the pot. The bet was enough to get Laak to fold without so much as a second thought.
