The Unabomber Advances in Poker Pro-Am Equalizer

Being filmed in the South Coast Casino in Las Vegas, the Pro-Am Equalizer has had another final seat taken by a professional poker player when Phil "The Unabomber" Laak won his qualifying heat on Tuesday. Moving past Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Howard "The Professor" Lederer, Jennifer Harman, and a newcomer to the game of poker, Cindy Margolis, Laak now has a seat at the final table of the event. He will be competing against fellow professionals for a $500,000 top prize, but is guaranteed at least $25,000 for playing. The last two qualifying heats took place on Wednesday and the final table will be played today and will be seen by ABC television audiences starting in November.
