Lawson Takes Out Fermin
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Freddy Fermin open jammed for his last 360,000 chips from under the gun and action folded to Jonathan Lawson in the small blind. He re-jammed for 540,000 leaving the final action on Edward Ochana in the big blind. He asked for a count of Lawson's stack and considered his option.
He eventually mucked and flashed his pocket jacks before they went into the muck. After the live hands had been flipped, a player remarked to Ochana "What a fold!", seeing he would have been up against pocket queens.
Freddy Fermin: A♠8♠
Jonathan Lawson: Q♦Q♠
The K♥Q♣4♣ flop saw Lawson improve to trips. Fermin found an ace on the A♦ turn, but couldn't turn it into anything with the 7♣ river.
