Dalet vs. Laak: The New War

[user66118]

We've been watching Praz Bansi and Andrew Pantling battle back and forth for a couple hours, but Table 4 has its own big perpetual war waging strong. Vincent Dalet and Phil Laak have tangled in several big pots, with Dalet coming out on top nearly every time. We pick up the action as the two of them become involved in another little pot.

Dalet had opened to 3,900 from the button, his standard open at this level. Laak came along from the big blind, and the two men checked through the turn on a board of {K-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {6-Clubs} . The {7-Clubs} river drew a bet of 8,000 from Laak, and Dalet looked him up with the call.

Laak said, "I play the board," with a flush. Dalet showed his {8-Spades} {9-Clubs} for the better flush, good enough to take down yet another pot at Laak's expense.
