Catching Flack

A super short-stacked Ali Baskan got the last of his chips all in preflop holding a pocket pair of sixes -- in great shape against Layne Flack's {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

The {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop that followed looked great for Baskan, until the {10-Diamonds} fell on the turn giving Flack a world of outs. One of those outs was the {8-Spades} and that's exactly what fell on the river, giving Flack the winning two pair.

"I thought for sure I'd hit a straight flush on that one," joked Flack as he raked in the new chips. He's currently sitting with just under 150,000 in total.
