Phil Laak Eliminated in 4th Place ($133,377)

Phil Laak was under the gun and raised to 80,000, which David Bach called from the big blind. Both players checked the {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop, leading to the {10-Diamonds} on the turn. Bach checked for a second time, and after a moment's thought, Laak fired out 150,000. Bach thought for a bit and then check-raised enough to put Laak all in.

Laak didn't seem happy about it, but committed his remaining stack nonetheless.

Laak: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Bach: {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

"Oh, why did I bet?" Laak lamented after seeing Bach's flopped full house. The {Q-Spades} river didn't change a thing and Laak became our fourth-place finisher, worth $133,377.
