Watters Delivers a Shower

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

David Blankenship saw action folded to him in middle position and limped in. The hijack also limped in to put action onto Bob Watters, who was in the cutoff and pumped it up to 20,500. Action folded back to Blankenship and he let his cards go as well.

Action was then on the hijack and he limp-three-bet all in for about 35,000. Watters quickly called.

Hijack: {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Bob Watters: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The two were off to the races with Watters out in front and poised for both the pot and the knockout. The runout came clean in his favor, falling {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} to leave his pocket eights best and send his opponent to the showers just past the midway point in Level 12.
