Maue Squares Up with Watson
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Leonard Maue raised to 275,000 in the cutoff with A♥Q♥ and Mike Watson defended from the big blind with A♠7♣. The flop came A♦Q♠2♣ and Watson check-called a bet of 250,000 from Maue.
The turn brought the 4♥ and Watson checked again. Maue announced a bet of 1,075,000 and Watson stuck around for the 6♠ on the river. Watson checked for the third time and Maue slid out a bet of 2,200,000. Watson dipped into the tank for over two minutes and eventually found the right fold.
