The Nuts are Good Enough for Layne
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
2005 WSOP Main Event runner-up Chad Layne raised -preflop from the button and found one caller in the big blind. The two players saw a flop of 
and Layne bet 5,000 after his opponent checked. The big blind then check-raised Layne to 15,000, which he called.
On the turn 
the big blind open-shipped his stack of around 50,000 but was snap-called by Layne, putting the big blind at risk.
"You got jack-ten, huh?" the big blind asked as he showed 
for a flopped two pair.
"Yep," Layne replied as he tabled his 
for the nut straight with a flush redraw.
The big blind was only drawing to a nine or a four to fill up but the river 
did not deliver and he was eliminated as Layne chipped up to 170,000.
