Stud-8:

After a Phil Ivey bring-in bet, Layne Flack completed. Patrick Bueno called and Lyle Berman raised. Ivey passed, and Flack reraised. Bueno folded and Berman put in another raise. Flack called all in for his last 34,000 total and the players showed:

Flack: ({A-Diamonds}) ({10-Spades}) {10-Diamonds}
Berman: ({J-Clubs}) ({J-Spades}) {K-Diamonds}

When all the cards were out, it looked like this:

Flack: ({A-Diamonds}) ({10-Spades}) {10-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {3-Clubs} (X)
Berman: ({J-Clubs}) ({J-Spades}) {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {3-Spades} {A-Clubs} (X)

Flack checked his river first and couldn't beat Berman's kings up. He mucked his hand and headed for the exit. Berman meanwhile chips up to just under 615,000.

Let That Be a Lesson to You!

Barry Greenstein completed on third street with split nines and a jack in the hole and Phil Ivey made the call with a jack up. Fourth street came down a six for Greenstein and another jack for Ivey. Before Ivey could even reach for his chips, Greenstein mucked his cards.

"Let that be a lesson to you, Barry!" laughed Ivey as he raked in the small pot.
