Watson Joins the Leaders
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mike Watson raised to 180,000 in middle position with A?A? and Joachim Haraldstad defended in the big blind with 7?7?. The flop came K?5?4? and Haraldstad check-called a bet of 120,000 from Watson.
The turn brought the A? and Haraldstad checked again. Watson checked it back and the 4? paired the board on the river. Haraldstad checked for the third time and Watson put together a bet of 375,000 with the best full house. Haraldstad pondered for a moment but ultimately sent his cards to the muck.
