Watson Halts Holskyi
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to Konstantyn Holskyi on the button, who opened to 2,000. Mike Watson responded with a three-bet to 7,500 in the small blind. Holskyi called.
On the 10♥9♠6♣ flop, Watson continued with a bet of 4,500 and Holskyi called.
The A♣ rolled off on the turn, and Watson again reached for chips and fired out a bet of 18,000. Holskyi, for almost half his stack, called quickly.
The 7♦ completed the board and Watson slowed down, checking to his opponent. Holskyi checked back quickly.
Watson showed A♥Q♦ for a pair of aces and Holskyi mucked his hand.
