Watson Catches a Bluff
Level 10
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Antoine Saout and Mike Watson had created a pot of 65,000 when they arrived on the turn on 6♥4♠2♦9♣. Saout checked from the small blind and Watson followed suit in the big blind.
The 9♦ river completed the board and Saout led out for 44,000 chips. Watson did not take long before making the call, and won the pot when Saout could only show K♦8♦ for king-high.
Watson tabled 8♥6♦ for two pair, and a big pot was sent his way, seeing him climb over the 300,000-chip mark.
