Watson Wins Without Showdown

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

Andras Nemeth recently doubled through Darren Elias and Mike Watson remained the clear chip leader at their table.

The Canadian took on Elias in a smaller pot when he bet the flop for 12,500 and earned a call. The turn was checked and Watson check-raised the river from 25,200 to 139,600. No call by Elias followed as Watson pulled back over half a million in chips.
