Watson Catches a Bluff
Level 10
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Antoine Saout and Mike Watson had created a pot of 65,000 when they arrived on the turn on 6?4?2?9?. Saout checked from the small blind and Watson followed suit in the big blind.
The 9? river completed the board and Saout led out for 44,000 chips. Watson did not take long before making the call, and won the pot when Saout could only show K?8? for king-high.
Watson tabled 8?6? for two pair, and a big pot was sent his way, seeing him climb over the 300,000-chip mark.
