"I'm running out of time"- Phil Laak

With Ben Tollerene making it 18,000 to see a flop, we saw Phil Laak move all in for 94,000. After some mild tanking Tollerene made the call with queen high, {q-Spades} {10-Clubs} to be exact. Tollerene was ahead as all Laak was able to produce was {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} , but we still had five cards to see.

With a {4-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} flop Laak had plenty of cards that could come to give him the hand. With the {6-Spades} on the turn, Laak hit a straight and was safe from being eliminated. A meaningless {5-Spades} rolled off the deck for the river.

After the hand Laak exclaimed he was "running out of time" and needed to make a move sooner or later. He rationalized that if he had 20,000 or so more chips he would have been able to get Tollerene to fold. Laak now has a little more room to play, but he is still pretty short stacked.
