Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Mike Watson was the first in the pot when he raised to 1,800 from middle position. Sam Phillips called from the button, as did the player in the big blind.
The flop came 
and the first player to act checked. Watson continued his aggression with a bet of 2,500 and only Phillips called.
The dealer slid out 
on the turn and both players checked. The river was the 
and Watson took several moments before checking, and Phillips had a bit of thought as well before checking behind.
Watson showed 
, but the cards quickly went back on their faces as Phillips turned over 
to win the pot.
