Mike Watson opened to 100,000 from the cutoff and Oleg Vasylchenko three-bet to 310,000 from the big blind. Watson laid it down.
The next hand, Watson opened to 100,000 and Maduka Meragal called in late position to get things heads-up. Watson continued for 50,000 on the flop of AxKxQx and Meragal quickly folded.
