More to come . . . stay with us!
While Lawson considered his decision, I had a nice little chat with Tony Hachem, who provided us with some insight into the hand, as well as some words on his own tournament progression:
"I've been card dead for the past three hours. I was the chip leader awhile back and now look," he said, pointing to his stack, which stood at about 35,000 at the time.
Tony then went into detail about the hand in progress, as Kevin sat stoically, while Lawson considered a decision:
"Kevin probably has Kings," Tony said. "He (Ted) has either got Queens or Jacks. If he's got Jacks it's an easy laydown. If he's got Queens, well . . . "
At this point, Kevin called for the clock, after a long two minutes had passed.
"He (Ted) can't call . . . he's either got to go all-in or fold," Tony said.
As the tournament director ticked the last seconds off the clock, Lawson mucked his cards face-up, revealing A-K.
"Aye, yah?!" Tony said in shock, as he saw Lawson's hand.
The hand upped O'Donnell's chip stack to just over 60,000.
.Vahedi's opponent wound up pairing the Jack, which spelled the end of the day for Amir.

The flop came
and Racener passed to Prendes, who bet 7,000. Racener then check-raised to 17,000, prompting Prendes to move all-in; he had Racener covered. The bet made Racener muck his hand and brought Prendes past the 200K mark on the day.
.The
flop gave Hachem top two pair, but the 
on the turn gave Mathews a Jack-high flush. Hachem would need either a 7 or a 9 on the river to stay alive, but the board paired the 5, sending Hachem home early.
