Lauson the Penultimate Bubble Boy

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

In the first hand back from the break, Travis Lauson opened for 18,000 and received a call from a player in middle potision. Paul Mattioda then three-bet to around 50,000, Lauson shoved all in for 190,000, and the limper got out of the way. Mattioda made the call and it was off to the races.

Lauson: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Mattioda: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Lauson got it in good, but his lead was only temporary as the {9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop gave Mattioda two pair. The {5-Hearts} turn left Lauson in need of some lady love on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the {8-Hearts} blanked on the river.

Lauson finished in 47th place and leaves Potawatomi empty handed.
