Watson Back to Start

Frank Visser

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 125 ante

Mike ''SirWatts'' Watson open-raised to 2,300 from the hijack and got called by ''calldeKhigh'' on the button. The flop of J?2?K? saw Watson continue for 1,775 before ''calldeKhigh'' matched the bet.

On the 7? turn, Watson put another 5,325 in the pot, which ''calldeKhigh'' called again. The 4? river completed the board and Watson now checked to his opponent, who responded by putting out a small bet of 7,455.

Watson quickly called and ''calldeKhigh'' could only show a failed bluff with this 9?8?. Watson's pair of jacks with A?J? was enough to take down the pot, and he was back to over starting stack.
