Yeah I saw that the other day, could have been a lot worse.

It was Antonio Esfandiari who first published the pics, with Phils permission I'm hoping. Maybe there was a bet behind it ? (the publishing, not the crash).

You don't think they staged it as a bet though right ? Don't think they would go that far.

Who knows? They do like there side bets lol. Maybe there tracking forums to see if they can get 10K+ posts about his injury lol.
I'd say this was a normal accident tho, thank god it wasn't worse. I like Phil Laak, he's a good person.

Oh man, looks like he got pretty banged up! I'm a fan of Phil Laak...sorry to see that this happened to him. At least he has Jennifer Tilley as his in home nurse! ;)

This is typical for him. Action & Surprises ! Once he took part at the wsop as an old dirty man (with make up and so on). I wish him all the best, God bless Phil Laak and his beautiful poker girl ...

I believe it is more than likely that there was a bet behind the crash (or at least the events leading to the crash) than the publishing. I've read articles by Phil that eluded to some wild betting habits and this seems like a likely pregression of the prop bet.

Anybody know how severe his injuries are? 7 bones sounds like alot, but I've broken 9 bones at once before, but it was just my hand and wrist. I'm hoping that his injuries are not that severe, physio is a bitch.
