Ted Lawson Eliminated in 77th Place ($11,942)

Dec 8, 2011

After Ted Lawson three-bet preflop and Vitor Coelho called, the two went heads-up to a flop of J-7-2.  The two get it all-in on the flop with Coelho holding K-J for top pair, but Lawson holding the best of it with pocket aces for the overpair.

The K on the turn is not a good card for Lawson though, and a second J on the river further improves Coelho to a winning full house.  Lawson, who finished in sixth place in this event in Season IX, is eliminated in 77th place.

Vitor Coelho – 225,000 (56 BBs)
Ted Lawson – eliminated in 77th place ($11,942)
