Phil Laak has recovered very fast from the quad bike accident a few months ago, and he has also been doing very well at the poker tables. However, his first big win since the accident came yesterday when he took home the first event of 6 at WSOPE London - his first ever WSOPE (World Series of Poker Europe) win. At the moment Phil is playing Event #2 of WSOPE London and he' doing fine so far. He's one of the 49 last men standing in the tournament, however, he's far from the top of the field where notables such as Barry Greenstein, Chris Bjorin, Erik Friberg and Jeff Madsen are battling with big stacks.

Congrats Phil . . . crazy how he can go from the hospital bed to the final table of a major event, to his first WSOP bracelet! He and his wife have to be the most famous poker couple of all time.

this achievement is much better than breaking records for playing most time consecutively. well done to him winning his first and that too just short time after a big accident.
