"Raise the Maximum"
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Action folded to Mathieu Jacqmin on the button and he raised to 15,000.
"Can he even make it that much?" the jovial Phil Laak asked from the big blind. Indeed he could, and the man nicknamed "The Unabomber" paid the additional 8,000 to see the flop, which came out 
.
Laak checked, Jacqmin bet 23,000, and Laak looked directly at the dealer. "Raise the maximum," he said, making it 102,000 to go.
Jacqmin didn't seem to like it and he thought for about 40 seconds before releasing his hand.
