gooo on lawrence, all the way

[robyong]

restarted after lunch with 4 players.............

[robyong]

Shaka raises 80k, laurance flat calls in sb, flop T 5 K, Lawrence bets 200k, Shaka folds. Looked looked like a move to me, by Lawrence (ie. call with any 2 cards and move-in if no ace flops), but i could be wrong....

[robyong]

Larwence has 50% of chips in play, other guys have 300, 400 and 500, he's in great shape but in can all change.......to kock them out or sit on his chips, that is the question.....

[robyong]

The atmopshere is tense here, about 100 people crowded around the table, they did not play it on the normal platform due to bad lighting. Lawrence has set a guy all-in with KT but is dominated by KQ.  Its the shorttest stack, Yarl, the KQ has held up and Yarl doubles up through Lawrence for $144k, Lawence was on the BB and decided to take shot at getting the shortstack out, only risking 15% of his stack. Getting very tense here now.....

[robyong]

I hope Lawrence does not get too aggresive, as if he with till he's head-up, he's still in good shape with $1m and 10-20 blinds. Another all-in, Shaka has raised 100k, Neverwin pushed all in for $300k, BB, Shaka thinking....... still thinking........(normally this means he'll pass) but you never know........come on, what are you thinking about, he has 2 cards, and you have 2, and then 5 dealt and if you win you double up, if you lose, you are out, no point in doing a moody, the man is all-in, still thinking, must be 5 minutes. HE CALLS, Neverwin has AK, Shaka 99, flop , Never win has the King Flush....no cluns on turn or river, Neverwin is out in 4th and Shaka doubles up to a great raw from the crowd, he is relly well supported here. Down to 3 - Lawrence has a great chance, particulary if he getts deal 22.

Mornin Rob, dozed off earlier for a few hours. Is he going to do it?

[robyong]

Russ, If I was betting I would say he was 6/4. It looks like they are playing all-ins rather than flops, so there is more luck-factor involved. If they were playing flops, i was say he was even money, as he could make more moves and bet them out.

[ariston]

Agreed although lawrence isn't adverse to the odd preflop resteal himself. Bit tricky 3 handed though. Don't forget to tell him to get cash- invasion coming on Sunday and everyone needs dollars

[Colchester Kev]

.hi all, im sitting by the final table now and Lawrence is now HEADS UP  they have put the bracelet on the table and lawrence has a 4-1 chip lead over Jarl.

[Robert HM]

What dreams are made of....!

[Colchester Kev]

ALL-IN - pre-flop, Yarl moves all in with 89 offuit and Lawrence calls with AdQd, flop...........KdTd7h, good flop for both players...........turn , no help, river giving Lawrence the straight and he is the 2005 WSOP $2000 No Limit Champion. He looks a bit overcome, and is accepting his congratrualtions very modestly from everyone. There is about 20 english here, Devlilfish, Peter The Bandit, Chubby.................WHAT A RESULT FOR LAWRENCE GOSNEY!!!
