The Real Ted Lawson

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

Ted Lawson raised to 900 from under the gun, and Paul Volpe defended his big blind. The dealer fanned {5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Volpe checked, and Lawson continued for 1,900. Volpe called.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, Volpe checked again, and Lawson moved all in. He couldn't only bet 5,675 though, leaving 450 behind, but it didn't matter as Volpe tank-folded.

Lawson opened up {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for a pair of aces and the nut low.
