Shamus

In the first hand of five-handed play, Layne Flack raised to 120,000, and Dario Alioto called.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

. Both players checked. Both also checked the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

turn. The river was the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

and Flack bet 200,000. Alioto thought a bit, and made the call.

Flack showed Q-Q-7-2 for queens full of sevens, claiming a nice-sized pot.

The hand after that, Flack and Alioto limped to see a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

. Flack bet 100,000 and Alioto folded. Flack showed Q-Q-x-x as he took the smaller pot.
