Lawhead off to a Good Start

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

There were roughly 2,200 chips in the middle on a flop of J95. Michael Stringer bet 1,000 from the big blind when the 5 hit the turn, which David Lawhead quickly called in the small blind.

Action slowed down when the 3 fell on the river, and both players checked. Stringer tabled QJ for top pair but could not beat Lawhead's Q5 for three of a kind.
