Watt Short, But Still Kicking
Simon Watt opened to 500 preflop and was met with calls from the blinds to see a flop fall and Watt continue for 700.
Only the big blind came along before he check-folded to a 1,800-chip bet from Watt as the landed on the turn.
The defending champion is having a really tough time today getting any momentum and upwards chip movement - but with that small pot to take him to 7,050 - it may kick start Watt's run here in Auckland.
