Laakin' Good
John Eames might share his surname with a cool character from the film Inception but his dreams of winning this event have just died. Phil Laak opened to 1,700 from the hijack and Rui Cao flat-called on the button. Eames then pushed for a total of 16,025 more and Laak then pushed behind him and Cao folded.
"Do you have a pair?" inquired Eames.
"No," said Laak.
"Then I'm ahead," replied the youngster turning over as Laak flipped .
The board though had other ideas, coming and another British youngster bit the dust. The Brits have had great success over the last two weeks with EPT, WPT and World Open successes, but it does not look like they'll be taking home this bracelet.
