Unfortunately, we were unable to catch the action on the hand, but the players at the table were kind enough to fill us in on the details. Larry Grayson was in the small blind and Layne Flack was in the big blind. It was a blind vs. blind hand that saw Grayson open with a raise and Flack re-raised. Grayson flatted and the flop came out .
Grayson checked, Flack bet, Grayson put in a substantial raise and Flack shoved. Grayson called and the hands were tabled.
Grayson:
Flack:
The turn paired the board with a queen - giving Flack a full house and Grayson trips. The dealer burned and peeled off the river - another queen!
Grayson had Flack covered and his quads sent Flack to the rail.
Chad Brown has been eliminated by Mitch Merritt. The two got all the money in preflop and Brown held pocket eights and Merrit had pocket aces. The board ran dry for Brown and Merritt spiked an ace on the river to add insult to injury.
Huy Nguyen will not be a repeat champion here at Choctaw Casino and Resort - he was eliminated in unknown action. He might be disappointed but he picked up his third WSOPC gold ring yesterday in the Turbo event.
Daniel Lowery has had a charmed level to say the least. Only 25 minutes ago he 140,000 and just an hour before that he was struggling with under 30,000.
Lowery took second place after a lengthy heads up battle at the WSOPC Harveys Lake Tahoe Main Event.
