Can Anyone Stop Layne Flack?

Layne Flack has been a man on a mission here in Cyprus. If you've been to the beach in the morning hours, you might think that mission is to have a little rendezvous with one of the Romanian girls that have been out there sunbathing topless each day. But if you've been in the poker room, you'll know the mission is to win this tournament.

Flack's stack just got a big boost in the arm thanks to Nenad Medic. With 72,000 chips in the middle, Flack bet 43,000 on a board of {Q-Spades} {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {2-Spades}. Medic announced a raise, put 43,000 over the betting line, and then added another 113,000. Flack took thirty seconds, taking off his sunglasses and setting them on the table. Then he matched Medic's bet.

"Two pair," said Medic, has voice rising questioningly at the end. That prompted Flack to turn over two pair of his own, {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}, to drag the pot. Medic did not look pleased.

"I thought you were asking me," said Flack. "I was like... yeah, two pair. I was really only worried about ace-queen. I didn't think you had king-ten."

"I thought it was king-ten of clubs," piped up Dan Harrington.
