Antonio Esfandiari & Layne Flack
Layne Flack limped in from early position, and a player behind him pushed all in for 5,075. A player in the big blind called, and Flack called as well.

Both Flack and the BB checked the {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop as well as the {J-Clubs} turn. The river was the {10-Hearts}. The BB checked, Flack bet 3,500 into the dry side pot, and his opponent folded, showing pocket sevens for the dummy end of the straight. Flack turned over {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for the nut straight. The all-in player had A-K and was eliminated.

"Wheeeee!" said Antonio Esfandiari afterwards. "Yeah, why not call five thousand with king-queen," he added facetiously. "These young guns... I just don't get it."

Flack now has 27,000.
