12th or Better to Get No Flack

MarcC

Layne Flack has been telling his table that he needs to get 12th or better to get out of the red in this tournament. We've prudently worked out that Flack must've had at least 20 rebuys in the first three levels of play.

We're not sure if this is the highest amount of rebuys by one player at this stage.

Nam Le Out

Shamus

Nam Le and another player limped, the player in the hijack seat raised to 3,100, and only Le called. The flop came {3-Diamonds}

. Le bet 7,200, his opponent reraised enough to put Le all in, and he called.

Le had {10-Clubs}

for top two and a draw to a straight. His opponent had A-A-x-x. All was fine for Le until a trey on the river paired the board, and Le hit the rail.

Laak Alive

Shamus

J.C. Tran raised to 2,000 from late position, and Phil Laak reraised pot to 6,600 from the small blind. Tran called, and Laak went ahead and bet his remaining 4,000 in the dark.

The flop came {Q-Diamonds}

and Tran called Laak's bet. Laak had K-Q-10-8 for top two, and Tran A-K-9-8 (no heart draw). The turn and river didn't help Tran, and now Laak is back up to 15,000.
