Early One for Lawson

Facing a limp from the cutoff and a raise to 1,300 from the button, Ted Lawson bumped it to 3,450 from the small blind.

The limper folded, and after a minute or two of deliberation, Lawson's opponent from the button made the call.

The flop fell down {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Lawson casually tossed in a 5,000-denomination chip while announcing a bet of 4,000.

His opponent sat there agonising over a decision before eventually folding to see Lawson scoop the pot and move to over 28,000 in chips.
