Layne Flack Disputes DUI Charge

Layne Flack, who missed the NBC National Heads Up Poker Championship due to an alleged DUI, has issued a statement contesting the charge. Flack’s statement, below, makes plenty of sense to us and would be quite a fabrication if untrue:

I attended the Draw Party at Pure on Friday night and then met with my brother, who had flown into Vegas for Heads Up. I was under the impression that I was to play in the last bracket the next evening at around 8 pm. I was pulled over for speeding and refused a breathalyzer test as I have been instructed to do. I have no idea why I was written a ticket for failing to yield to an emergency vehicle. There were no emergency vehicles around, besides the police car. A test, given by the Las Vegas PD, later revealed that I had a blood alcohol content of zero. I also took a blood test, as I have nothing to hide. I was held for the mandatory 6 hours and released. I always go out of my way to not drink and drive. I regret that I was not able to play in NBC Heads Up and hope to be invited next year to play in this prestigious event.

The blog of Andrew “good2cu” Robl, which used to contain a post regarding he and Flack drinking on the night in question, has now been edited to omit said references.
