List Of All Layne Flack’s WSOP Bracelets

Layne Flack aka ‘Back-to-Back’ is a six-time World Series Of Poker (WSOP) champion. He is one of the early faces from the 2000s, the time when poker experienced a boom. This player who was a household name in the early 2000s was considered to be one of the best grinders of his time. Looking back, what do you think gave rise to a player like him? Flack wasn’t new to card games since his family made him familiar with Pinochle in his younger days. Later, Flack graduated and began working as a dealer at a casino. While Flack wanted to pursue a degree in business management, destiny had other plans. 

While working as a dealer, the training and observation helped Flack understand the game’s dynamics even better. While grinding in Montana, he got introduced to big-time poker players. Huck Seed is one of the players who encouraged this Rapid City poker player. Within six months of this, Flack moved to Las Vegas and had also nailed the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em event of the Hall of Fame Poker Classic in August 1997. Through the years that Flack played, he was under the mentorship of several well-known grinders, like Johnny Chan, Ted Forrest among others.
