The Unabomber

Before getting down to the final table, Phil Laak (pictured with me dealing) and Eric Seidel were eliminated on one hand by David Benyamine.  Phil is always very amusing.  He played this entire tournament while reading books between hands.  All of the books he read were books on playing 7 Card Stud High-Low 8 or better.  At the time he was eliminated, he was reading the section of the Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide that dealt with 7 Card Stud High-Low.  That chapter in the book was written by Ted Forrest who was at an adjacent table and eventually finished fourth in the tournament.
