The Blind Versus the Blind

Level 1

It appears we forgot to mention the table with Layne Flack and Al Barbieri in our tables to watch a moment ago. The two have been jawing at each other since they sat down, sitting right next to each other and giggling like school boys. We counted at least 14 F-words in the thirty seconds we were standing beside them.

Limit Hold'em

In a battle of the blinds, Barbieri and Flack each put in four preflop bets apice. The dealer spread out {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {8-Spades}, and both players checked through to the {3-Hearts} turn. Barbieri checked again, and he called a bet from Flack. That action repeated on the {Q-Hearts} river with Barbieri check-calling one last bet.

"Do you have two jacks?" Flack asked. Barbieri showed his {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}, and Flack continued, "Because I got three queens. That's a slow night at Layne Flack's house." He rolled over {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, ahead all the way. Mark him down for 8,400 here in the early going.
