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.
