Layne Flack Drops Some Knowledge
Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
With over 4,000 seniors packing every room in the Rio here on Day 1, some of the WSOP's regular players may be a bit agitated by the longer bathroom lines and crowded halls, but at least one poker pro has expressed his appreciation for their presence here today.
Layne "Back-to-Back" Flack, who earned that nickname by winning consecutive events at the 2002 WSOP, recently took to Twitter to thank the seniors for coming out for their Main Event. Flack's sentiments ring true, as the health of the poker community has always depended not on the young millionaires making moves, but the recreational players plunking down a buy-in or three to play for fun.
