Ted Lawson capped the action on third in order to get as much of his short stack in the middle as possible. On fourth is when he ended up getting the last of his chips in. Farzad Rouhani and Mike Wattel stayed in to the end, trying to win the pot and eliminate Lawson.

Wattel showed aces and sevens to try and capture some of the side pot, but couldn't do so when Rouhani turned up aces and queens. Lawson scooped the main pot with trip fives in order to triple up to 6,000.
