Quick Start for Lawrence

Matt Lawrence, who we just told you about at tough Table 37, opened for 350 from the hijack and received calls from the players on the button and in the big blind. A check from the latter opened the door for Lawrence to continue for 500, but he was met with a raise to 1,500 by the button.

The big blind folded, Lawrence called, and then both players checked the turn. When the peeled off on the river, Lawrence retook control with a bet of 3,225, and it was enough to get the job done as the button folded his hand.
