Watson Has It

Lyle Bateman

Level 8 : Blinds 1,750/3,500, 450 ante

Canada's Mike "SirWatts" Watson, who recently became a two-time EPT winner in Monte Carlo (technically a PCA and an EPT champ), just took a chunk out of the chip leader "O Vulgo". "O Vulgo" opened to 7k from the middle, and Watson called from the button.

The 2?4?2? flop went check-bet-call for 5,713 and "O Vulgo" checked again on the 3? turn. Watson fired 41,276, more than the pot of ~34k and got the call. When the river came 5? "O Vulgo" checked again, then called Watson's bet of 116,828. Watson showed down 6?5? for the win.
