Phil Laak has finally captured a World Series of Poker gold bracelet in the first event of the 2010 WSOP Europe. He had participated in online casinos and live poker tournaments. Finally, grabbing this new jewelry would speak louder of his poker skills and talent, the seal of a Poker Champion.
Going back then, we remember that Phil Laak had involved in an ATV accident after their friends outing in Oregon few months ago. This accident suffer Laak some broken bones and an eye laceration, but after all, Laak still endured to sit at the poker table making his best record ever. For him, winning the WSOP gold bracelet is not just a Poker success, it also brought a significant change in his real life.
He mentioned that his 115-hour-long session of endurance poker would made him a better poker player today and a better person too. He admitted that somehow in the game, he got doubt, but because of the stress he pushed to himself, he finally break the record.
No doubt, Laak made it! He said that its more than the success in poker, he feels that everything changed. Laak says, "Everything’s changed, it’s like I’ve been rewired. The food tastes better, I feel better. It’s all better!"
Sure, we agree to it. When you play poker by heart, its give you satisfaction and fulfillment. As what poker Al Alvarez mentioned to his book; the heart of poker is the players feelings toward it. It teaches us dedication, patience, cool-headedness that is a real life character. Not only the knowledge of learning poker skills and understanding strategies, but on how you control yourself in every risks you've made. That is what Laak's important lesson this time; and as we see it, he had passed his lessons with his very first Poker bracelet!
