Poker After Dark - It's Like Printing Money

  Layne Flack knows a lot of the big pros, and in fact is one of them himself. He was with Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, T.J. Cloutier, Chris Ferguson, and Erik Seidel during the special episode of Poker After Dark that brought together half of the dozen players living in the world today with five or more World Series of Poker bracelets to their name.  In this hand he used his understanding of the Poker Brat, Phil Hellmuth, to make money he otherwise would have missed. He limped in with: ... completing his blind for another $100 in chips and cash. Phil, on the big blind, checked his option with: ... and it was on to the flop.  The flop came down: ... and each player got some of it. Flack checked his fours and Phil bet his twos, putting $400 to the pot. Flack called.  The turn came: ... and this time both players checked. Flack noted that Phil checked, bet, and now checked again, and figured him to be weak. The question wasn't, "am I going to win this pot" now, but "how can I get more money from Hellmuth."  The river came: ... and Layne said, "It's time for the $300 embarrassing bet." And he pushed $300 to the pot. "Embarrassing bet?" asked Phil. "Yeah, that's so you don't have to turn over your cards."  Phil said he deserved the $300 for that, and paid the bet. When Layne won the hand he laughed and said, "It's like printing money, boys!"
