Lawrence's Turn to Double
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Another hand, another rivered double. This time, Jim Lawrence was all in from early position for 327,000, and Tony Lazar called on the button. Jerome Getz considered from the big blind before ultimately folding.
Lawrence: 
Lazar: 
"Same hand," Getz said.
"You had two eights?" Lazar deadpanned.
"Ace-queen," Getz responded with a laugh.
"Still a few left in there."
Indeed, the 
flop brought two of Lazar's outs. The 
turned, leaving Lawrence in need of a set on the river. He got it when the 
emerged from the deck.
"That's why I wanted you to have two eights," Lazar said.
