Manig Loeser Eliminated in 9th Place (£12,902)

Down to just a bowl of rice, Manig Loeser moved all in from the button for what I believe was 23,700 and Phil Laak made the call in the small blind.

Laak: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Loeser: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop was disastrous for the Laak, but the adrenalin was soon pumping again as the {Q-Clubs} arrived on the turn. A blank {3-Spades} river, and Laak punched the air before him, thus proving how much winning this tournament means to him.

"What was your confidence level on that flop?" I asked.

"Zero percent," he replied instantly. "If you're pessimistic, then you're always going to be stoked, right?"

Laak now on 233,000, whilst Loeser is on the rail.
