Phil 'The Unabomber" Laak

Phil “The Unabomber” Laak will attempt to break the world record in poker endurance this June @ the Bellagio Hotel & Casino. His goal is to top the current record of 78 hours of nonstop heads up poker set by the British player Paul Zimbler in 2009.
Laak’s attempt will start on June 2 at the Bellagio under the supervision of the Guinness Book of World Records judges.

“I have played many enduro sessions of poker, but never anything of this magnitude,” Laak states in a press release. “I know this will test my limits but I love a good challenge and am excited to be trying to beat this record in Vegas’ top poker room.”

Paul Zimbler set the current record of 78 hours last year during the WSOP Europe in London.
