We recently noticed Layne Flack take a seat here in Brasilia, however, almost just as quickly - Flack was getting up and heading out.
We caught up with Flack at the very end of his last hand. He pushed all in on the turn on a

Flack: 
Opponent:

From the conversation after the hand, we think Kitai had

Action began with the player first-to-act, who opened to 250. His opponent directly behind him on the button three-bet to 650 and right behind *him,* Jon Turner four-bet to 1,450 from the small blind. The big blind and original raiser got out of the way, however, the player on the button mulled it over and decided to five-bet to 3,175.
Action was back on Turner, who thought it over and six-bet to 5,450! Turner's opponent had apparently had enough as he mucked his hand shortly thereafter.
