The Bubble That Wouldn't Burst

Ted Lawson
Ted Lawson
Sitting on the short stack with just 40,000, Ted Lawson raised pot to 28,000 from late position and David Benyamine called on the button. The flop came {6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Lawson put the rest of his chips in, and Benyamine called.

Lawson had {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{K-Spades} -- a pair of sixes. Benyamine had {4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} -- a pair of sevens and a nice straight draw.

The turn was the {2-Spades}, giving Lawson two pair. And the river was the {A-Spades}, improving Lawson's two pair and giving him the pot. Lawson doubles up to 80,000, and Benyamine is now at 370,000.
