Not Pushing Flack Off Of This One
Hold'em:
We missed the preliminary betting but caught up with the action as Layne Flack and an opponent were involved in a heads-up pot with nearly 10,000 chips up for grabs.
Board:
Flack's opponent check-raised him on the river and after "Back to Back" Flack insta-called, his opponent responded by saying "I was hoping I could push you off."
Flack tabled the for the nut straight and started cracking up with laughter, saying "Noooo.... no way you were pushing me off of this hand buddy!" Flack's laughter diminished just a bit when his opponent tabled the for the same Broadway straight, resulting in a chopped pot. Flack had flopped the nut flush draw and was freerolling for the entire pot going into the river.
Nonetheless, Flack's grin never left his face as he graciously recounted the action to our live reporting team.
