Stud 8:

Lawrence (X) (X) {5-Clubs}

(X)

Duval (X) (X) {10-Clubs}

(X)

Lederer (X) (X) {5-Spades}

(X)

Ivey (X) (X) {2-Clubs}

A series of bets and raises ended up putting Spencer Lawrence all in on third street while Jeff Duval, Howard Lederer, and Phil Ivey continued betting on the side.

Duval paired tens on fourth street and led out, Ivey folded and Lederer called. Duval led again on fifth street and Lederer called. Sixth street brought checks from both players and it was the same story on seventh street.

Lawrence's nines and treys were no match for Duval's kings and tens for the high, and neither player made a low. Lederer showed {A-Hearts}

for a lone pair of aces, no low, and Duval scooped the pot, eliminating Lawrence.

A published writer and poet in addition to his thriving poker career (including two final tables at this summer's WSOP-Las Vegas), Lawrence will take home ��8,938 for his finish here in London.
