Gregory Eliminates Lawton in River Upset
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
The player in the hijack started the hand by limping in. Brent Gregory raised the bet to 55,000, Andrew Lawton cold-called out the big blind and the hijack came along to a flop of K?3?2?.
The hand checked through to the 10?. Lawton seized the opportunity to take the betting lead and fired out 75,000. The hijack folded while Gregory raised to 475,000 putting Lawton all in.
After minutes in the tank Lawton announced "You put me in a tough spot here" before eventually hero-calling for his tournament life.
Andrew Lawton: K?Q?
Brent Gregory: A?4?
The 5? fell on the river marking the end of Lawton's deep run.
