Not Taking Any Flack

Layne Flack

We walked up to Table 8 in time to see a flop of {3-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} spread out on board and about 15,000 chips already in the middle of the table. Layne Flack was all in for just about 35,000, and the decision was on Hakan Ercan, his lone opponent. After a few minutes in the tank, Ercan made the call to put his own tournament life at risk here in the first level.

Showdown
Flack: {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}
Ercan: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

The turn was a blank {8-Spades}, and the {J-Spades} that hit the river was scary paint but a miss. Flack picks up the knockout, upping his count to a whopping 120,000 having already lapped the field twice.
