Nolan Dalla wrote the following about Mike Laing on Poker Pages...

The current chip leader is Mike Laing from Las Vegas – with 129,425. Also known as “The Clown Prince of Poker,” Laing is literally playing on his last leg. He enjoyed a stellar run in poker tournaments during the mid-90s, but has fallen on hard times in recent years. Laing has come close to hitting “railbird status,” a pejorative tag that essentially means missing of action. No one doubts Laing’s natural card talent. The question is – can he survive another day with what seems to be such a reckless style of play? All eyes are on Laing as we enter Day Two.

Now check out the hand Mike played on Monday night to put a big hit on his stack.

Mike raises $7,000 and gets called by the big blind.

The flop comes K22

Big blind checks, Mike bets $10,000 and the big blind goes all in for another $78,000.

Mike calls instantly and turns over 10 8 (no flush draw) & says "Give me running tens boy"!!!!

The big blind turns over K Q.

The turn is a King & the river a Jack.
