Keidar Outruns Flack

Uri Keidar
Uri Keidar
Layne Flack opened with a raise to 65,000 from early position before Uri Keidar moved all in for exactly 400,000. The table folded back around to Flack, and he would sit anxiously in the tank for several minutes, his leg bouncing up and down furiously as the gears in his head turned. Finally, he slammed in the calling chips to put Keidar at risk.

Showdown
Flack: {3-Spades} {3-Diamonds}
Keidar: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}

Salvation came right in the door for Keidar as the dealer spread out a flop of {K-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {Q-Spades}. The turn {8-Clubs} was a safe rag, and the {A-Diamonds} on the river meant two pair and a big double up for Keidar.

After doubling Keidar up to 860,000, Flack has left himself with just about 150,000 to play with.
