Getting Hard to Breathe in Here

Shamus

If your name isn't Layne Flack, that is.

Daniel Makowsky raised to 175,000, and Flack called. The flop came {3-Spades}

. Flack checked, and Makowsky bet the pot -- 375,000.

Flack stood up and rubbed his chin. After a couple of minutes, he rechecked his cards, then let it go.

Flack Now Has Almost Two-Thirds of the Chips in Play

Shamus

Flack raised to just 100,000 from the button, Makowsky folded from the small blind, and Fernandez called.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}

. Fernandez checked, and Flack did what Flack has often done lately when you check to him -- he bet the pot (225,000).

Fernandez grabbed his water bottle and took a swig, then hunched forward to consider his options. Finally after a minute or so, he folded.

Flack is up to almost 3.2 million, to 1.1 million for Fernandez and 730,000 for Makowsky.

Jacobo Fernandez Eliminated in 3rd Place ($222,659)

Shamus

Daniel Makowsky limped from the button, Jacobo Fernandez raised to 200,000 from the small blind, and Layne Flack called from the big blind.

The flop was the {10-Clubs}

. Flack bet pot, Fernandez reraised all in, and Flack called.

Fernandez: {A-Spades}

Flack:

Flack had flopped sixes full of tens. Fernandez needed an ace or a ten, or he was done.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}

and the river the {K-Spades}

, and Fernandez was out in third place.

Even so, another terrific showing for Fernandez has vaulted him to the top of the WSOP Player of the Year points race.
