Laak Closing the Gap
We picked up the action on the turn as the board showed . Andrew Pantling was first to speak, and he made it 50,000 to go. Laak obliged him with the call, and Pantling checked to him on the river. Laak wasn't checking back; he fired a wager of 97,000 chips, and that was enough to garner a fold and send another pot over to his corner.
Laak is getting there, having almost worked his stack up to match that of his opponent.
Laak - 845,000
Pantling - 985,000
