Watson Shows No Fear

Level 9 : 1,250/2,500, 300 ante

Action folded around to Michael Watson who raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and Mikita Badziakouski called from the big blind.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Badziakouski check-called Watson's 7,925 continuation bet bringing the {2-Clubs} turn. Badziakouski changed the aggressor and led out for 7,500. Watson called and the {10-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

Badziakouski slowed down and checked to Watson who moved all in for 25,063. Badziakouski took his whole time bank and then called at the last second.

Badziakouski rolled over {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for two-pair but it was inferior to Watson's two-pair {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Watson collected the pot.
