Championship Day 1: Laak Doubles Early

Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship (Freeze-Out)
Level 3: 150/300/50 Ante

We were still searching the field for big names when it was called to our attention that WSOP and WPT champ Phil Laak was all-in for just over 17,000 preflop against pro Nick Palma.

The action was complete and Laak’s AhKs out raced Palma’s TsTc on the As7s2dQcQd board to get him back over starting stack.
