Phil Laak: A Chip Counter's Dream

On a board of {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, Phil Laak bet 8,000 and was called by Shawn "Lightning" Keller. The river was the {3-Spades} and Laak bet 23,300, which Keller called after tanking for three minutes.

Laak showed J-7 and Keller slapped the table before mucking his hand.

After the hand, Laak quickly stacked up his chips and yelled "175,300!" over to the chip counter as he does after every hand he wins.

Keller is bounced down to 93,000.
