Maximum Pressure on Watson
Tom Marchese is sitting out of position against plenty of world class players, but so far this does not seem to bother him at all. Marchese just raised from the button to 2,200 and Mike Watson three-bet to 6,000 from the small blind. Marchese called.
The flop brought out 
and Watson bet 5,000. Marchese raised it up to 10,000 and Watson called.
On the turn the 
showed up, and both players checked. The river was the 
and Watson checked once more. Marchese grabbed a big pile of yellow 5,000 chips and put Watson all in. He had around 42,000 chips and thought about it long and hard before he made the call.
Marchese turned over 
and split the pot against Watson's 
. Play went on as if nothing happened, but everyone at the table did get a litte more information about the play of these two players.
