Unabombed
We noticed Phil Laak and his inimitable ski goggle and hoodie get up missing from his seat, and after a bit of investigation we found out how the "Unabomber" met his demise.
Apparently, Laak held on a board reading by the turn, and trying to push an amateur off the pot like pros are wont to do, he fired away with an all-in bluff on fourth street.
An unidentified player snapped him off though, and Laak knew the score immediately, telling the man "Ahh, you must have the nine then."
Sure enough, Laak's opponent tabled for a full house to cripple the longtime pro, and he soon lost the rest of his micro-stack to Lynne Barner in the next seat over.
Barner told us that she couldn't remember Laak's holding, but that her flopped two pair to send him to the rail with an early exit.
