Jon Friedberg Chops; Layne Flack Explains the "Stand Up & Walk Away" Rule
Another player mentions that he still has outs if he hits one of his two queens, and Layne Flack tells him to sit down because he can also hit running spades for a chop. Sure enough, the last two cards were , putting a spade flush on the board and chopping the pot. Friedberg sheepisly sits back down.
Flack says, "Why doesn't anyone ever listen to me? It's the stand-up-and-walk-away rule." Apparently, as soon as Friedberg stood up to leave, he was a lock to survive the hand.
