Taking It Layne Down
Layne Flack was involved in a four-way pot. It looked as though they'd each stuck in 2,000 preflop. By the time we arrived there was a flop on the board. The player in the small blind bet out 5,000 and two players folded. Flack called with just 9,000 behind.
The gent in the small blind bet out another 5,000 on the turn and again, Flack just flat-called. Come the river, Mr. Small Blind bet 10,000 and Flack called all in - only to muck when his opponent turned over for a flopped flush.
By the by, at some point during the hand, Flack accidentally knocked a T100 chip off the top of his stack and it fell off the table. "Chip down!" he said. When he called all in, he couldn't find the chip. Eventually one of the TV people told him that it had fallen into his pocket. He retrieved it, and duly delivered it to its rightful recipient before receiving a hug from Melissa Hayden and then heading for the rail.
