Watson Chips Up Without Showdown
Level 16
: 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante
Mike "SirWatts" Watson made it 55,000 to go on the button and was called by Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi in the big blind.
Shakerchi check-called a first bet of 37,125 on the 
flop and opted for another check-call worth 175,000 on the 
turn.
Once the 
river hit the board, Shakerchi checked once more. Watson bet 575,000 with just 17,781 behind and that shut down the resistance of Shakerchi.
