Blinds: 150,000/250,000

George Dinh raised to 600,000 on the button, and next to act, Phil Laak moved all in for his final 1,800,000. Action folded back to Dinh, who snap called with [Ah][Ac], and Laak saw he was in a world of hurt with [Ad][Jh].

The flop was about as good as Laak could have asked for, coming [Qd][Js][8d] to give Laak a pair and some backdoor flush outs. However, the [7h] turn and [7s] river changed nothing, and Dinh secured the knockout to get us to five handed.
