Lawson Picks off a Bluff
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Chein Nguyen raised to 300 from the hijack, and was called by the small blind William Lawson, and the big blind Sean Magness.
The flop came 6?5?7? and after Lawson checked, Magness bet out 400. Nguyen folded, and Lawson made the call.
After the 7? turn, Lawson check-called a bet of 1,000 from Magness.
The river was the Q? and after Lawson checked, Magness bet 2,800. Lawson gave the decision some thought, before making the call.
Magness tabled A?8? for a missed straight draw, and ace high. Lawson then showed 5?4? for a pair of fives to take the pot.
