Watson Busts Collopy on Bubble
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mike Watson opened to 35,000 in early position, and action folded to James Collopy on the button, who three-bet to 123,000, leaving himself around 46,00 behind.
Action folded back to Watson, who thought it through, before just calling.
On the A♣10♥6♣ flop, Watson check-called the jam from Collopy, to put Collopy at risk on the bubble.
James Collopy: A♦K♠K♣8♦ 
Mike Watson: Q♣7♣6♠5♠
Collopy was in front with a pair of aces, but Watson had a flush draw to go with his third pair sixes.
The 8♣ turn drilled the flush for Watson, leaving Collopy drawing dead, and the 6♦ river completed the board to burst the bubble and end play for the day.
