Laak Off to a Hot Start

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Phil Laak
Phil Laak

A player in middle position opened to 1,800 and Phil Laak called from the hijack. A player on the button three-bet to 6,600. The middle position player got out of the way and Laak moved all in, covering his opponent who had approximately 40,000 behind. The button thought about his decision for about a minute before making the call to put himself at risk.

Button: A?K?
Phil Laak: A?A?

Laak was in very good shape to secure the knockout on the Q?5?2? flop. The 3? turn gave his opponent some outs to chop but the 3? river was clean, allowing Laak to take down a sizable early pot while sending his opponent to the rail.
