Lawson Chipping Up

Ted Lawson, a tournament pro who won a preliminary event here at Caesars earlier this week, is off to a good start this afternoon and currently sits with over 15,000 in chips.

In a recent pot against fellow pros Mark Newhouse and Theo Tran, action was checked to Lawson in late position who bet 1,500 on a {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts} board. Newhouse tossed his hand into the muck and Tran made the call.

The {A-Hearts} fell off on the turn and slowed both players down, as both checked, opting for a free river card - the {Q-Hearts}. Once more, both players knuckled the felt and Lawson tabled a pocket pair of kings which were good enough to rake the 5,000 pot.
