Watson Doubles Through Hajiyev
Level 13
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
The flop read 9?J?8? and around 84,000 was already in the middle, in a hand between Mike Watson in the cutoff and Ramin Hajiyev in the big blind.
Watson slid out a bet of 25,000, only to be met with a check-raise by Hajiyev to 77,000. Watson called.
On the 4? turn, Hajiyev continued with a bet of 106,000.
Watson took some time to consider the spot before moving all in for 507,000, sending Hajiyev into the tank.
Hajiyev burned through all five of his time banks before making the call, with Watson at risk.
Mike Watson: K?K? 
Ramin Hajiyev: A?J?
Hajiyev had top pair of jacks but was in bad shape versus Watson's pocket kings and the 8? river confirmed Watson's double-up.
"Nice hand, man," said Hajiyev as Watson raked in the pot.
