Laak Tight

We just caught the tail end of the action, but it's noteworthy enough to tell you about it. The board showed {J-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {7-Spades} {A-Spades}, and Vincent Dalet had the action. He made a big overbet by shoving all in for about three times the size of the pot, enough to cover Laak's 67,000 remaining chips. The decision wasn't an easy one for Laak; we'd eventually find out he was in the tank with {6-Clubs} {7-Clubs} for several minutes.

Finally, Laak talked himself into a fold, and Dalet couldnt' resist showing the airball {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} to needle him a little.

Laak is left with those 67,000 chips now, unable to talk himself into a double up.
