Giang Kicks Lawson

Limit Hold'em:

Under the gun, Ted Lawson open-limped, and David Benyamine followed suit in the next seat over. Chau Giang limped his button, and Phil Ivey knocked the table to take a free four-way flop from his big blind.

The dealer spread out {7-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, and Lawson was the one to fire the first bet. Benyamine folded, but Giang put in a raise. That was enough to fold Ivey as well, while Lawson called the extra bet to proceed in the hand.

Fourth street came the {8-Clubs}, and Lawson check-called a bet of 1,600 there, and another one on the {7-Hearts} river. Giang showed up {J-Spades} {9-Spades} for top pair, and it was good. Lawson flashed the {9-Hearts}, but his kicker apparently wasn't up to snuff as he sent his cards back into the muck.

Giang - 165,000
Lawson - 140,000
