Event 34 - Flack is Back!
1 year ago
This tournament is over! The 34th bracelet of this WSOP is out of the display case and on Layne Flack’s wrist. The sixth of Layne’s illustrious career, this one has earned him $577,725. Flack is a fixture on the tournament circuit and this win shows everyone that he’s still a force to be reckoned with.
Before Flack went heads-up with Dan Makowsky we saw Fernando Jacobo go broke in third. Read on for the final hand as well as that previous bustication.
Flack Stacks Mak
Dan Makowsky is no longer, falling victim to the steamroller also known as Layne Flack. On the final hand Flack potted from the button and Makowsky re-potted from the big blind. Flack re-raised again and Makowsky called all-in.
Flack: K

Makowsky: A

The board ran T

and Flack’s top set is more than enough to seal the deal and end this short-lived match. Makowsky is out as runner-up for $355,050 while Flack gets the big money and the trophy.
Fernandez Funked (3rd)
Jacobo Fernandez has been sent packing third and will grab $222,659 after running in to the Layne Flack machine. Daniel Makowsky limped and Fernandez made it $200,000 from the small blind. Flack called from the big blind and Makowsky said goodnight.
The flop fell 10

and after Flack potted it Fernandez shoved. Flack made the call with 6

for the flopped boat against Fernandez’ A

. No surprises on the 4

Event 34 - Can I Still Rebuy
1 year ago
The action has been serious with two casualties falling over the past hour. Layne Flack has taken control, looks relaxed and the WSOP staff looks like they are starting to fit him for number six.
Forrest Fired! (5th)
Ted Forrest is gone and can be found right now picking up $144,427 from the cage after getting picked off by Daniel Makowsky. Forrst bet out $130k and when it folded to Makowsky in the small blind he made the call. Jacobo Fernandez came along for the ride and when the J

flop hit Makowsky bet pot. Fernandez dropped out but Forrest called all in for his last few chips.
Makowsky had hit the flop hard with J

Layne's got way more chips and A

for a pair of aces and the nut flush draw while Alioto's got K

for two pair and a straight draw. But when the 9

Layne is still over $2 million but Alioto is now a threat with $1.2 million himself.
Alioto Allotted (4th)
A few hands after doubling through Flack, the two got it all in again with Flack holding A

Three handed Flack has $3,095,000, Jacobo Fernandez has $1,235,000 and brining up the rear is Dan Makowsky with $705,000.
