Bad Beat for Flack

We suppose that, if you play more than the average share of pots, you'll take more than the average share of bad beats. Layne Flack has taken plenty of bad beats over the course of the three days of this tournament, despite leading the field. He just took another one after mixing it up with Tommy Vedes yet again.

Flack was out of a position for a {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

flop. He checked and called a bet of 10,000. On the turn {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

he took the same line, checking and calling 14,000 more. The river fell {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and caused the action to go check, check. Flack might have thought he had at least half of the pot with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

. He therefore seemed particularly irked to see Vedes turn over {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

, a winning hand that was drawing to just two non-diamond kings after the flop.
