In contrast, Brent Carter (famous poker expert) was at the small blind with 6-3, and eventually, he ended up completing the blind. Then, Barbara moved all-in through a medium sized stack.

John Shipley from England cruised his way to the big event in the year 2002. He came to the final table with a tag under his belt, as a player with most chips. Having said that, he is there after the young superstar Phil Ivey experienced a terrible bad beat. He was truly unlucky.
With players less than 100 leftover, Shipley and Ivey saw a flop of A-3X. Both of them have initiated over 130k in chips with John Shipley's all-in. Then Ivey’s pocket was showing 3s for trips and Shipley turns over the combination of AK for a big pair of aces.
Ivey was going great guns and was considered as a hot favorite at that point of time. Then the turn brings one more ace enabling Shipley trip aces. But by then, Ivey was already having a full house. Finally, the river brings the final ace into the deck providing John quads. Phil Ivey never sustained a serious blow and had never recovered from this later at any point of time. He ended the event finishing 23rd, while Shipley continued his juggernaut.

| Layne Flack demoralizes Philip Marmorstein in WSOP $1500 No-Limit Event |
|
Layne Flack has a very good track record when it comes to World Series of Poker. He has won 2 gold bracelets at the WSOP 2002, in 2 different NL events and has become one the famous poker players. In what is deemed as a unforgettable final table, there were some talent players including the Layne Flack, Philip Marmorstein, Johnny Chan, T.J. Cloutier, and Carlos Mortenson fighting for the title. Go through some of the chip stack standings.
Mortensen, 170k
Flack, 195k
Cloutier, 175k
Marmorstein, 80k
Chan, 170k
Marmorstein, a renowned backgammon player was right on the button, and Flack opened for 15k. Later Marmorstein called, and the flop came 10s-10c-8c. This has prompted both the players to check. The 4d hit the turn, Flack bet 15k and Marmorstein called again. Another 4, the 4s, hit the river, and Flack moved all-in. Marmorstein practically beat him into the pot, and you know why, because the hands were as follows:
Flack, 10-10 (quad tens)
Marmorstein 4-4 (quad fours)
Amazing, is it not? Flack dropped quads forcing Marmorstein into the turn. This led to the river giving him quads as well. It all happened there, and Marmorstein went home stunned.
