Wheeler Forces Watson to Fold the Best Hand
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jason Wheeler raised to 45,000 in the hijack with Q?10? and was called by Andrew Hulme on the button with 3?3? and Mike Watson in the big blind with K?8?. The flop came J?8?5? and Wheeler continued with a bet of 75,000. Hulme got out of the way but Watson called with his middle pair.
The turn brought the 2? and Watson checked again. Wheeler put together a second barrel of 135,000 and Watson still called. The 6? completed the board and Watson checked for the third time. Wheeler announced all in and Watson was forced to let the best hand go.
