Bomb-trickery

Kevin O'Donnell and Phil Laak are seated at the same table and in a recent hand, Laak chased O'Donnell out of a 1,500 pot with a 500 bet on the river.

"I've got K-Q," Laak told O'Donnell, as he considered a call. If he indeed had K-Q, Lack would've had two pair. "See, look, I'll show the guy next to me," Laak said, as he motioned to cuff his hands over his cards, giving the impression that his neighbor could see them - though we're unsure if he really could.

O'Donnell eventually laid down his hand and questioned Laak afterwards, "Did you really have king, queen?"

Laak replied, "After this hand (two hands after the hand in question), come around the table and I'll show you what I had," fully aware that the PokerPro tables only store the most recent hand played in the hand history. Basically, Laak was attempting to put O'Donnell on tilt and it almost worked!

O'Donnell took the bait and walked around to the other side of the table to have a look at Laak's hand history. The cards O'Donnell saw were not king-queen, and Laak kept a straight face playing it off like he'd successfully bluffed O'Donnell out of the hand. "You bluffed me earlier," Laak said.

A moment passed before O'Donnell realized he wasn't looking at the cards from the same hand and both he and Laak had a good laugh at the situation.
