Lawrence Off to a Great Start

Unlike yesterday's frenetic action, Day 3 of WSOP Event #56 has gotten off to a rather sedate start. However, Matt Lawrence is now our first player to reach one million in chips after winning a pot against Scott Abrams.

On a flop that read {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Abrams led out for 33,000 into a pot worth around 80,000 and Lawrence called before the dealer peeled off the {J-Spades} on the turn. Abrams checked, Lawrence bet 45,000 and Abrams mulled it over for a couple of minutes before dropping his hand into the muck.
