Lawrence Takes a Bite Out of Dibella

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Tracy Lawrence
Tracy Lawrence

Details leading up to the flop are unknown, but Tracy Lawrence put his remaining 57,500 in the pot from the button on a {7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop.

John Dibella, who started the hand as one of the biggest stacks in the room, with more than 300,000 chips, thought it over for awhile before making the call from early position.

Tracy Lawrence: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
John Dibella: {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Lawrence had ace high with no flush draw, but was ahead of Dibella's four flush. No help came in for Dibella on the {10-Diamonds} turn or {2-Spades} river, and Lawrence chipped up to the 155,000 mark.

Coyne Gets a KO

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Eddie Coyne opened to 6,000 under the gun, the cutoff three-bet to 22,000, and Coyne called.

Coyne checked the {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop, and the cutoff went all in for his last 49,000. Coyne made the call.

Cutoff: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Eddie Coyne: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Coyne was well ahead when the cards turned over, leaving the cutoff drawing thin. The turn {3-Clubs} was a brick, as was the river {4-Spades}, and Coyne collected the pot, while his opponent headed to the exit.
