Don't Mess with the Unabomber

An under-the-gun player limped and set the example for Phil "Unabomber" Laak in the hijack and the player on the button. The small blind got out of the way, while the big blind checked his option. It was four-way action to the {9-Hearts}{A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop, which everyone checked.

Action then checked to Laak on the {5-Spades} turn, prompting him to bet 225. The button was the only player to fold as the {J-Spades} was put out on the river. Again action checked to Laak, and this time he bet 825, nearly the size of the pot. This time the bet proved enough to clear the field, allowing Laak to take down the pot without a showdown.
