Lawson Likes Fresh Breath

On a board of {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, both Ted Lawson and his opponent checked. The river brought the {9-Clubs} and after Lawson checked, his opponent put him all in for his remaining 5,000. Lawson decided to think about his decision before calling, and eventually a floor was called over to put the clock on him. During the clock, Lawson accidentally bumped a package of breath mints at his table, and decided to pop one before making a decision.

With just fifteen seconds left on the clock, Lawson decided to call and showed {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a full house, nines full of fours, while his opponent mucked. After that fresh breath enhancement and double up, Lawson is up to 12,000 in chips.
