Good Flop for Watson Proves to Not be Enough

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Mike Watson

Sam Greenwood opened to 2,500 from under the gun and was called by Steve O'Dwyer on the button. Mike Watson three-bet to 12,500 in the small blind and Greenwood responded with a four-bet to 26,000. O'Dwyer got out of the way and Watson called.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Watson check-called a bet of 11,000 from Greenwood. The {3-Spades} paired the board on the turn and Watson checked again. Greenwood moved all in and Watson didn't hesitate before calling off his last 45,000 chips.

Watson flipped over {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a pair and a flush draw but Greenwood held {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for the best hand at the time. The {8-Hearts} on the river bricked out and Watson was the first casualty of the day.
