Flack is the Fire Hydrant Today

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

When we got to the table, Layne Flack was down to just 300 chips, and he put the rest of them in preflop. The big blind was the only caller, and the two flipped up their cards.

Flack: {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Big Blind: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The flop provided some fireworks when it came {j-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Spades}, giving both players two pair. The turn and river provided no miracles coming {10-Clubs} and {q-Hearts} and Flack was eliminated. As he got out of the chair, Flack said "Well sometimes you're the dog and sometimes you're the hydrant. Good luck guys." Everyone at the table, including Flack, had a laugh at that one.
