Poker Pro Phil Laak was born on September 8th 1972 in Ireland and now predominantly lives in California, although he spends a lot of time in Las Vegas too.

He plays in a number of major live ladbrokes poker tournaments each year but he continues to be more of a cash game specialist despite having some success at the WPT in recent years.

He has made three final tables at the WPT, winning one title and finishing 6th place twice, he also has a 2nd place at the WSOP and has tournament earnings exceeding $1.2 million, so when I say he is more of a cash game player, it is clear that I do not mean he hasn’t won much at tournaments, but he certainly has the talent at his disposal to go further.

His poker pro nickname is the ‘Unabomber’ and was given to him due to his habit of tightening the drawstrings of his hooded top during big hands to just leave his sunglasses showing, this is one of a few interesting traits Phil shows whilst playing poker. He is dating actress and fellow poker professional Jennifer Tilly and has had a few television appearances himself, both in televised poker events and in a show called ‘I Bet You’. www.ladbrokespoker.com

Phil Laak has always been an intrueging character at the poker tables and excels at cash games although it would be easy to imagine him picking his first WSOP bracelet and maybe another WPT title too, over the next few years.

By playing and practicing at Ladbrokes Poker (ladbrokespoker.com) you too could be the next big poker pro!
