Lawrence Scores a KO

Matt Lawrence opened to 2,200 from under the gun and only recevied a call from a short stacked player on the button.

The flop was {3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and both players checked. The turn brought the {4-Hearts} and Lawrence checked once again. Lawrence's opponent moved all in for his last 8,200 and Lawrence mulled over a decision. Eventually, Lawrence plopped in enough chips to call.

"...You called?" his opponent said almost in disbelief. His opponent showed {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for merely a pair of threes and Lawrence was ahead with his {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

The board finished with the {8-Diamonds} and Lawrence was able to send a player home and hit the hundred thousand chip mark.
