Commentators Possibly Heading to the Bar as Watson Dwells

Watson made it 27,000 under the gun and big blind Jetten called.

They both checked the {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} flop, but come the {4-Diamonds} turn, Jetten bet out 37,000. Watson called. The river came down the {5-Hearts} and now Jetten bet out 65,000. Watson dwelled up long enough for the EPT Live commentators to attempt to call for the clock and suggest going for a drink instead, but eventually Watson passed and Jetten took the pot.

Juanda Gives it Up

[user4144]
[user4144]
In what was a tense, pensive hand with more deliberation than an entire series of "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire," John Juanda and Michael Watson saw a cheap {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop. John Juanda bet out 42,000 and Watson called. Both players then proceeded to check down the {K-Clubs} turn before Juanda check-folded to a bet of 55,000 on the {K-Clubs} river.

Nguyen Wins Hand, Remains Short

Scotty goes all in for just 33,000 although he announces 33 million, and it folds to Juanda in the small blind who thinks about it. "I double you up yesterday," says Nguyen, "Come on, you can double me up." Juanda isn't convinced though and folds. Then on to Jetten on the big blind. Says Scotty, "Call! Call! Call!" Jetten obeys, and it's looking good for Scotty.

Scotty: {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}
Jetten: {7-Spades} {8-Hearts}

Board (please imagine a massive "Ooooh!" in the press room on each street): {10-Spades} {3-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

Even though Jetten picks up a lot of outs along the flop and turn, Scotty doubles up his micro-stack to a mere mini-stack and stays in the game with six big blinds to his name.

Reraise from Watson

[user4144]
[user4144]
Jason Mercier raised UTG with Scotty Nguyen in the big blind, but Michael Watson put the American to the test by making it 80,000 from the small blind. Both Nguyen and Mercier folded.

Scotty Not Too Hotty

[user46392]
[user46392]
Jason Mercier raises to 27,000 and it folds around to Scotty Nguyen in the big blind. Utterly desperate, he must really hate his hand as he passes, leaving himself just 41,000 behind with the blinds at 5,000/10,000/1,000.

Battle of the Blinds

[user4144]
[user4144]
Although Scotty Nguyen teased pushing all in UTG, the actions folded around to Peter Jetten who limped in the small blind. Michael Watson bet 20,000 from the big, and Jetten called.

Both players checked down a {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} board before Jetten took down the pot with a bet of 37,000 on the {8-Hearts} river.
