Phil Laak has re-entered and is now entertaining Table 3 which includes WPT broadcaster Tony Dunst and Czinkota Zoltan (Davie, FL).

Laak, “the Unabomber,” is wearing ski goggles and cracking jokes.

“Your my wife’s favorite player,” says Zoltan after posing for a pix with the two poker pros. Zoltan won Event 10 (Black Chip Bounty) earlier this series for $5,400.

Laak sends his well wishes to Zoltan’s wife while raising his big blind the next hand.
