An amazing
final line-up that turned into a great five player event with the talented and
fearless ex-World Backgammon Champion from Germany taking on the best in the
West.
The hand that took Phillip out will go down in legend and provide
a bad beat story for all players to compare their own miserable versions
against. Flack having pre-flop bet small was delighted to see 10-10-8 on the
flop as he was holding a pair of Tens himself ! He checked and his only caller
Phillip, checked as well. The turn card brought a 4 and Flack now tried to
extract some money by betting small. Phillip who had just made a house with his
pocket fours, thought and called slowly, looking all the world that he didn't
now what to pretend he had or if he should raise. The River was another 4 and
Flack's professional instinct told him that pretending to bluff a Ten would
reap most so said all in. Phillip called before Layne finished speaking. There
was no slow rolling, Layne's cards flew across the table to show the quads
versus quads victory.
At the final three player stage there was a three
way all-in pot that saw Johnny Chan go from 3rd to 2nd and Flack secure his
position. TJ had AQ, Johnny had AK, Layne had AK. Everyone all in before the
flop. K on the turn has TJ beaten. Layne and Johnny split the main, Layne gets
all the side which is much bigger than the main. The big chip lead saw him
finish Johnny off and any chance of going through the $3million mark (or his
7th Bracelet).
The "Oriental Express" goes back into top spot in the
money order. John Morgan of England
won $227,815 back in 1996 when this was last held.
