Handy River For Watson

It was a classic blind-vs-blind rumble over on Andrew Watson's table where this interesting hand took place which saw some luck send Watson's stack to a hefty 60,000.

Play folded to the player in the small blind and he made it 675 before Watson would pop it to 1,800. A call from the original raiser would see a flop of {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Watson's opponent would check. Watson threw out 2,050 before his opponent made the check-raise to 5,200. Watson made the call and the {6-Hearts} would fall on the turn. This time Watson's opponent led out for 8,500 and after some thought, Watson made the call.

The {9-Spades} would again see Watson's opponent lead out, this time for 9,500. This time Watson made a fairly quick call as his opponent showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker. Watson tabled his {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and the rivered two pair was enough to take down the big pot. Watson now sits as one of the early chip leaders.
