Flack Takes One

Looking down at {A-Spades} {J-Spades}, Layne Flack put in a pre-flop raise before an opponent across the table put in a big re-raise. Flack called, and the flop came out {K-?} {J-?} {4-?}. The re-raiser slid out 3,000, and Flack quickly called.

The turn card was another {J-?}, a fine sight for Flack's hand. He would flat-call another bet of 3,000 before seeing the river bring a {5-?}. Keeping the heat on, the aggressor fired out 5,000, drawing a raise to 15,000 from Flack. He instantly called, and Flack tabled the winning trip jacks. That pot moves the pro up to about 75,000 here in the early going.
