Ilan Rouah opened to 5,800 under the gun, and Phil Laak called in the next seat over. From the small blind, short stack Daniel Colman moved all in on a squeeze. The call from Rouah came as quickly as the period at the end of Colman's "All in," announcement, and Laak was shocked to see the insta-call.
"I was going to do that. But now, I don't know if I wanna. Wait a minute, why can't I call here? Why can't I call?" After just another moment, he answered his own question, "I can't call," and pushed his cards into the muck. "Please show me you can beat me," he pleaded with neither player in particular.
Colman showed his 
first and then Rouah rolled over his 
. "I had that beat. And I had that beat. I'm the worst." Laak told his table that he folded pocket eights, and it would have been the winner in the end. The board ran 
, no help for the at-risk Colman. He's out in 14th place, but Phil Laak seems unconcerned.
"Did that really just happen?" he asked. "You're a sick puppy!" he leaned back and yelled at Rouah. Laak had to run over to tell John Tabatabai what just happened, and then he returned to his chair, remarkably quieter than he had been a few minutes ago. A sulking Laak will have to be content with about 90,000 chips, while Rouah has moved his stack back to around 250,000.
