Lawson Lays Down Aces

Mark Garner opened for 1,600 from late position, Ted Lawson reraised to 4,000 from the small blind and Garner made the call. The flop was {Q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {2-Clubs}. Lawson led out for 8,000 and Garner called. The turn was the {4-Clubs}. Lawson checked, Garner bet 16,000 and Lawson tanked for several minutes.

"You don't have the ace of clubs down there, do ya?" asked Lawson, flashing his {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} as he mucked.

Garner showed {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts} and dragged the pot.
