Lawrence Catches Runner-Runner to Stay Alive
Matt Lawrence, who has flown under our radar since removing his trademark hat after the dinner break, was just the beneficiary of a big double off Chris Conrad.
It happened when Lawrence opened for 5,000, Justin "Choctaw" Kruger called, and Conrad moved all in. Lawrence called off for 47,900, Kruger folded, and the cards were turned up:
Conrad: 
Lawrence: 
It was a flip, but not after the flop came down 
. Conrad paired his queen to take a commanding lead on the hand. The 
turn gave Lawrence a gutshot straight draw, and much to his delight, the 
spiked on the river to complete it!
AQss<88 I squeezed pre vs an open and a flat for 58k. Opener called allin for less. 8k and a miracle #dougflutietimeJanuary 18 2013Follow
Conrad doubled shortly after the aforementioned hand, but is still short with around 20,000.
