Flack Busts Alioto; Three Tables Remain

Layne Flack raised to 6,800 on the button, Paul Volpe three-bet to 18,000 out of the small blind, and Dario Alioto cold four-bet jammed for 51,200 from the big blind. Flack re-shoved for well over 200,000, and Volpe folded.

Alioto didn't know whether or not to discard, so he started to tank. After a few minutes, Phil Laak took a pair of binoculars out of his bag because he couldn't read the board.

"This happens five or six times a day," he said. "I can't see the board from here (three table-lengths away), so I bought these."

Finally, after around three minutes, Alioto tossed a card away. Flack instantly fanned {9-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, prompting Alioto to show {8-}{7-}{5-}{2-}. The Italian had thrown away a {10-}.

He was dealt a card facedown, sweated it, then flipped over a {9-} for a meaningless ninety-eight. Alioto hit the rail, and the final 21 players are now redrawing to three tables.
