"The Best Damn Poker Player in His Day"

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Andrew Watson three-bet to 3,700 in the small blind after a raise and a call in the cutoff and button, and the opener called to see an {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} flop. Watson bet 3,000 and got called. The turn was a {3-Clubs} and Watson checked. His opponent bet 6,000 and Watson made it 15,000, nearly all of his stack. The cutoff called and then snap-folded to the final 2,000 on the {q-Spades} river.

In the meantime, Layne Flack and TJ Cloutier were having a discussion, with Flack opining that Mike Sexton told the best stories, nominating Bobby Baldwin as well.

"He was the best damn poker player in his day, too," Cloutier declared.

At that same table, Alex Greenblatt and Kane Kalas just took seats next to each other.
