Breaking the Lawson

Ted Lawson
Ted Lawson

Ted Lawson was in a coinflip for his tournament life, and it ended up poorly. Lawson had either {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} or {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} (we were too far away to tell when the dealer killed his hand), and he was trying to hold against an opponent's ace-king.

There was an ace on the flop and nothing resembling a set for Lawson, and he has now joined Mrs. Lawson on the rail.
