Value Bet from Laak

It's been a solid start for Phil Laak. Calling a preflop raise from Francois de Quidt with 
, the Unabomber made "a non-traditional check" on a 
flop before leading out for around 35 percent of the pot on the 
turn.
"At this point, I was pretty sure that he had something like king-eight or ace-eight," explained Laak.
De Quidt made the call, leading to a 
turn where, after his opponent had checked, Laak decided to take his foe to milkitville by making a value bet of 14,000.
De Quidt didn't seem overly pleased, but made the call. Laak immediately revealed his top pair and De Quidt released his hand.
Laak now right up to 85,000 and with a great chance of making his debut on a WSOPE final table. Could this be the week Laak silences Antonio Esfandiari's "Your Mrs. has won a bracelet" chants?
