Chris Bjorin opened the pot with a raise from the cutoff seat, and Phil Laak called in position. John Tabatabai called from the small blind as well, and it was three-handed to the flop.
The dealer spread 
, and the first two players checked to Laak. A bet of 18,000 came from The Unabomber, and that was enough to earn himself two folds and the pot. Laak flashed 
.
"Look at that. Top pair, top kicker. Or whatever. If I didn't bet it, I'd have to quit poker. I don't wanna do that, so I bet. Gotta defend against quitting the game."
By virtue of his bet, Phil Laak will indeed continue to play poker as his primary source of employment.
