"January $100,000 II" (Day 2): Chris Lawson Experiences The Dark Side Of Variance, Eliminated In 7th Place ($5,300)

"January $100,000 II"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 29 (Blinds 40,000/80,000/10,000)
Total Entries: 867
Players Remaining: 6


Chris Lawson (Livingston, TX) headed a deal during the Isle Classic $360 No Limit Hold'em event, but couldn't secure his second trophy this evening.

Chris Lawson (Livingston, TX) was cruising for most of the day, and entered the final table fourth in chips.  Once action at the final table played out, he ended up losing almost every pot that he entered, and eventually found himself with less than ten big blinds.  After Richard Wetter shoved from middle position (for around 1,000,000), Lawson ended up calling out of the big blind (having just under 10 big blinds).  Lawson was racing with 7 7♣, against the A K of Wetter, but the Q♣ 10♣ 4♣ J Q runout saw Chris drawing to a club on the river..  He would head to the podium to collect his seventh place money, which was worth $5,300.

Richard Wetter - 1,900,000
Chris Lawson - Eliminated in 7th Place ($5,300)
