Phil Laak Up, Down and Out the Door

[user38420]

Phil Laak was so engrossed in his book that the player to his left posted his small blind for him. Hmmm, must be a good book.

A few hands later, Eric Berkowitz raised from middle position and Laak called. Before the flop, Laak bet in the dark. The flop came A-Q-8, Berkowitz raised and Laak called. The turn was a deuce, Laak checked, Berkowitz bet and Laak called. A jack came on the river, Laak bet, Berkowitz raised and Laak called. Berkowitz turned over 8-8 for a set, Laak mucked his cards and started playing with his hand-held video game.

On the next hand, Laak was all-in with J-9 against 3-9. The board came 8-3-A-4-A, and Laak was out the door.
