Michael Laake

Michael Laake opened to 900,000 from under the gun and it folded around to Jerry Wong in the small blind. He moved all in to get Nancy Thomas to fold her big blind and Laake thought a minute before calling at risk for his 11,125,000 stack.

Wong: AcKd
Laake: AsQs

Laake was in danger and nothing on the 9s8c3c flop changed that. It looked like he was in line for a huge double after the Qc turn but Wong had a lot of outs with the club draw. Wong came back to win the hand on the Kc river to send Laake out and stack up more than half of the chips in play.

Jerry Wong – 33,900,000 (85 bb)
