Watson Regains a Bigger Lead
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Leonard Maue raised to 650,000 on the button with 10?3? and Mike Watson reraised to 2,200,000 out of the big blind with A?Q?. Maue was forced to let go of his suited holding and surrender the pot to Watson.
On the next hand, Watson raised to 650,000 on the button with J?8? and Maue defended with 5?3?. The flop came 9?7?5? and both players checked to the 7? on the turn.
Maue checked again and Watson counted out a bet of 1,100,000. Maue called with his two pair and the 6? completed the board. Maue checked once more and Watson put together a bet of 3,000,000 after rivering a straight. Maue looked back at his cards and then sent them into the muck.
