Laak-Chan Final

[hoopsie44]

Is Phil Laak usually such a tool?

[istewart]

No, don't you understand? When you have such a great tournament record you're allowed to do [censored] like that.

[Salva135]

Are you being sarcastic? Because, that's not half bad. I mean, there's a lot better out there, but hell, I'll take that record in a heartbeat.

That's actually surprising... I don't really love the guy, but I don't really hate him either. Yeah he acts sometimes, but that atracts fishes to the game (and he was kinda funny at first).

Has he really only been at 2 WPT final tables? It seems he's on their every other time I decide to watch it.


P.S. Of course I'd take his record, he's actually won money!

Actually, there was an enormous difference in Laak when the game moved to the primary TV table form the outer table.

Did 27th place in the WPT tournament actually pay less than the event's buy in?

not too unusual.


On the PPM cruise ($10k buy-in) I finished 177th out of 735 and won $5200.

hm, is this a good thing or bad thing. I mean it's good for the satellite winners that didn't have to pay the upfront cost, but it's bad for the people that pay the upfront cost and looking for top heavy prizes.
