Oppenheim Takes Big Lead on Laak
Laak:
Oppenheim:
Oppenheim was the player at risk of elimination but had the best hand. Nothing changed on a flop of or after the turn fell .
"A nine would be good," remarked railbird Jennifer Tilly.
"A nine, any of the nines," agreed Laak.
"I had a nine in my hand," called out Eli Elezra from the next table.
"This is like the aces versus tens hand," mused Laak. "durrrr says it's standard."
Standard or not, the that hit the river didn't improve Laak the way Dwan's tens improved versus Phil Hellmuth last year. Oppenheim doubled up, taking a huge chunk of Laak's stack in the process.
