Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics
 

I don't know whether this is true or not but here's a story that another 2+2er told me:

During the WSOP I'm playing poker at the Gold Coast cause I'm a baller (they spread $1/$2 NL and up to $4/$8 Limit); talking to a guy about interviewing some players that day and another guy asks me..."are you a journalist?"

"Sorta", I say.

He says, "Do you know where I could find Phil Laak?"

I'm like, "you should check out the Poker Expo at the Rio, he's one of the spokesmen for some heads up bar game"

Then he says, "Do you want to hear a story about him?"

I say, "Ok..".

He says, "Phil Laak, that man is a scumbag, if you want to hear the story let me know and we'll go have coffee".

I'm thinking this will be some angle shoot story at the poker table. So we go to get coffee and this guy tells me a crazy story about how Phil was in Thailand and ran into some trouble, and the guy helps him out. Later Phil decides to start a business and this guy hooks him up with some people. The whole deal gets messed up and Phil gets bilked out of some money.

Then the guy says that Phil tried to hire a friend of his to kill him...

I'm thinking this story is pretty nuts.

I'm pretty drunk and agree to go to Expo show the next day and take a pic of this guy and Phil.

So the next day rolls around and I meet up with the guy at the expo show, and sure enough Phil is there signing an autograph and getting his picture taken. I didn't notice her at the time but Tilly is there too. So I go and stand near them and start snapping pics.

This guy sidles up to Phil and says, "Phil I think we need to Talk" (he's the guy on Phil's right).

Phil Grabs Tilly by the arm and basically runs away from this guy and out an employee exit...so I'm thinking...that's pretty strange.


Then the guy asks me to publish the story, and I tell him he should really look into getting a Real investigative journalist to do it.

So, I email the pics to the guy and he says that he's going to start a website about Phil; sure enough he did.

The Whole Phil Story

Pretty crazy if true. Not sure if the guy was trying to extort money from Phil or what...

Re: Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics
 

of course there need to be more sources who verify all of the alledged happenings that supposedly took place ....but uhmmm..wow wtf?

....seems like too crazy a story to be totally made up, however we live on a retarded planet so who knows...NVG worthy no doubt though [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

edit: by the way, he doesn't really help his case by including the last accusation about both laak and esfandiari. Even if everything he told about thailand was true as a whole it gets a little sketchy if he blatantly accuses phil laak and esfandiari of something totally unrelated and seemingly farfetched as fact.

Re: Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics
 

Someone should save that website because soon I'm sure Laak will get a court to take it down and even the google archives destroyed.

Re: Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics
 

this is [censored] right?

Re: Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics
 

understanding that there are at least three sides to every story, i wouldn't be surprised to learn that this guy's version is probably reasonably close to the truth.

And I like the one where the guy is standing behind Phil, looks like he's lookin down at a PDA or something, and Phil is just being Phil with his hands in the air, waving wildly as he speaks.

Of course this is the guy's proof that he sidled up to Phil and said..."we need to talk." And that was Phil's reaction...LOL

"The religious artifacts require a $10,000 tax. Please send me this money."

Thai = Nigerian?

Re: Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics
 

Is it me or is this just some guy advertising his business in Thailand?

Does Phil Laak really seem like the type of guy that would hire someone to kill someone over 15k? Seems pretty far-fetched because of that to me. I'd think he would just chalk it up as a loss. Of course I have no knowledge at all of either guy or OP.

it wasn't over 15k, it was over 10k that had already been given, and the tour guide dude's request for more funds to cover taxes.

if this is all true, phil laak sure does overreact.

Re: Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics
 

It would be the greatest thing EVAR if you ordered that video from the website and when it came in the mail it was a video taped rickroll.

Edit: nevermind it's just a link i see now.

you must have missed the part where he talks about his wife getting in a wreck on her way to the police station... reading comprehension is your friend

Re: Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics
 

That's 100% an attempt to adverise his business.
Wierd that he chose Phi Laak since he's hardly the most famous poker player but maybe theres a small element of truth in the story.

Re: Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics
 

paying 30k to kill someone over 10k, phil laak sure knows his pot odds....

Re: Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics
 

This was back in the early days of Laak's career before he learned how to lay it down on betting pre-flop, missing flop, and getting check-raised. He used to go 100% with the allin bluff.

Pretty sure you're looking at the wrong guy. It's the one to Phil's RIGHT, that is making this story up. I don't know why the other guy was in both pictures.

Re: Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics
 

First of all, who has a fat wife in Thailand? I can't recall seeing one fat Thai male or female the whole time I was there. Maybe she's a good cook.


And as far as I can tell from the story this guy is nuts.

"On arrival back in Thailand I purchase all the items and the find out that because they are of a religious nature a 10,000$ tax is required. I telephone Phil and he starts screaming and shouting (like the spoilt brat he is) that he is being ripped of I put the phone down and do not here any more."

That's the "Thailand religious artifact exactly $10k USD tax on exporting X number of items".


" My wife on hearing about this nearly had a nervous break down. She was so scared that she went to the Police on her motorbike to file a complaint on the way there she was hit by a car and now has the use of only one leg. Soon after this she developed M.S and although Phil Laak is not directly responsible for this
I am sure that all the stress did not help her condition in any way."

Come on.


And so let's see. Phil gave the dude $5k, then opened a business with him and gave him $15k, then felt like he was being ripped off for another $10k (which he probably was), got pissed and ended it. Nothing at all out of line by Phil here.


Now comes the part that is probably a big lie but could possibly be true to some degree.

"1 month goes bye and I get a phone call from an American ex-pat living in Thailand that Phil (Scumbag)Laak has paid 15,000$ to have me and my wife shot and will pay another 15,000$ when he receives the photo’s ."

Right.
