When it comes to poker personalities, certainly one of the most fascinating is that of Phil "Unabomber" Laak. The 42 year old Dublin born pro has been around the circuti for quite a while, and has won both a WPT and a WSOP title in his career.

Phil took some time during a tournament break to speak with our Rikard, and as usual the interview was a festival of Laak wisdoms. Phil talked about poker as well as his personal life. The interview covers Phil's thoughts on Badugi, PLO 8, and other games, as well as his current playing and workout regimes.
