The joke was on the comics
themselves when
Phil Unabomber Laak won the finale of Poker Royale:
Comedians Vs. Pros. Laak won the
final pot of $50,000.
The series came down to a game between Laak and fellow poker pro Kathy
Kolbert. Kolbert gained stock by winning the
second to last hand, but she needed desperately to quickly double up. On
the last hand, Laak was the 1st one to take control
holding pocket
sixes, then flopped three of a kind with a 6/4/A,
leaving Kolberg with pocket queens. After getting no
help from the turn, she needed a queen on the river to
stay in, but a ten came up and Laak won the hand and
game.
Also at the final table were
Linda Johnson, Tammy Pescatelli
from Last Comic Standing, Sue Murphy, and Mark Curry.
Poker Royale: Comedians Vs. Pros
is part of GSN's Casino Night that airs Friday nights. Laak will be featured in the upcoming The
James Woods Gang Vs. The Unabombers In Poker Royale
scheduled to air October 7 at 10PM Eastern time.
