Watson Wins Two in a Row
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu raised to 2,500 from early position and Juan Pardo three-bet to 9,000. Mike Watson four-bet to 25,000 and both players folded.
The next hand, Watson raised to 2,500 and Seth Davies three-bet to 8,500. Watson made the call and action went to the flop, which came 8?2?J?. Watson checked, Davies bet 9,000 and Watson called.
The turn was the 10? and both players checked. The river came the 6? and players once again checked their option to showdown. Watson showed A?8? for a pair of eights, which was enough to win the pot.
