Lawrence Wins a Flip; Collins Busts on the Bubble
Matthew Lawrence moved all in for 50,000 in the hijack and Dan Haag called in the big blind.
Matthew Lawrence: A♦K♣
Dan Haag: J♣J♥
The two opponents were racing on the bubble, and Lawrence took the lead on the K♥Q♠Q♥ flop with two pair. The Q♣ turn improved him to a full house and left Haag drawing dead. The river was the Q♦, and Lawrence won the pot with the four queens on board and his ace-kicker to secure the double up.
At the same time at another table, Shane Collins was already all in from the big blind as Brian Cutsinger and Mike Scarborough went to a flop of 3♠2♥8♠. Both players checked to the 8♣ turn, where Scarborough bet 35,000 from under the gun. Cutsinger folded in the hijack.
Scarborough showed A♠3♦ for two pair, while Collins only looked at one and flipped over the A♣. "It could be ace-eight," Scarborough told him, but Collins instead turned over the 9♥. The river was the 8♥, and Collins was eliminated on the bubble.
The remaining 19 players are bagging up their chips for the night.
