Scary Raise Gives Flack Chip Lead

Shamus

Layne Flack raised 75,000. It folded to Kyle Kloeckner in the small blind. He thought a bit, then dropped out 245,000 in front of him. Jacobo Fernandez folded in the big blind, and Flack didn't hesitate at all before reraising pot to 759,000 total (leaving himself just 123,000 behind).

Kloeckner had to think about this one. Calling would mean committing just about his entire stack. After a minute or so, he laid it down.

That hand knocked Kloeckner down to 590,000. Flack has reassumed the chip lead with nearly 1.2 million.

Westing Time

MarcC

Tim West has only voluntarily put chips into one pot today, and that was when he moved all in and doubled up through Michael Guzzardi.

He's very short again and will need to make a move, even if he just wants to make it to the next pay level.
