Ted Lawson is very intense.
Ted Lawson is very intense.
Ted Lawson raised to 1,100 from early position and the big blind played along. A flop of {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades} brought a bet of 3,250 from the big blind and a raise to 11,000 from Lawson.

After the call, the turn brought the {6-Hearts} and a bet of 12,000 from the big blind. Lawson tanked for a few minutes before finally releasing his hand. His opponent showed {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the straight and the straight flush draw.

Lawson is back at 67,500.
