Four players in consecutive seats tangled in a pot that ultimately led to the double up of Phil Laak.
Benny Spindler lit the fuse, opening from middle-to-late position for 800. Laak called in the hjiack, only for the cut-off to raise it up to 2,400. After a brief pause, Bernard Lee cold-called on the button, and after initial aggressor Spindler had released his hand, Laak joined the party too.
On the 
flop, Laak announced check, triggering a bet of 3,300 from the button. Both opponents called.
The turn came the 
, and after the cut-off had led for 5,500 and Lee called, Laak moved all in for around 35,000 more. The cut-off immediately folded, but Lee made the call to bring us to a showdown.
With

, Lee was drawing deader than Wild Bill, the academic 
river doing nothing but prolonging the pain.
After Lee had exited stage left, Laak collated his chips and referenced himself as a dinosaur, whilst musing with self-doubt: "I don't know what I'm going to do with all these chips."
Laak, who is inexplicably concealing his newly acquired red Mohawk, is now up to 95,000 and in upbeat mode.
