Event 22: Heartbreaker for Givens

George St. Lawrence spiked the out he needed.

William Givens and George St. Lawrence got it all in before the flop on one of the first hands of heads-up play.

Givens: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
St. Lawrence: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

St. Lawrence needed to catch up with ace-ten for the second straight big hand, and after the first four cards came {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, it seemed he was going to have to settle for the second-place prize.

"Let's hold one time," one of Givens' friends said.

Cruelly, the {a-Diamonds} landed on the river. St. Lawrence let out three loud claps as Givens walked away from the table in dismay.
