Watson Gets There
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mike Watson opened the action with a raise to 20,000 from early position, and once it folded to Thomas Muehloecker, he defended his big blind.
The flop came 6♦J♦K♣ and Muehloecker check-called a bet of 33,000 from Watson.
After the 4♦ on the turn, Muehloecker again check-called a bet from Watson, this time for 45,000.
Both players checked to showdown after the 2♦ on the river. Muehloecker turned over K♠8♠ for top pair, but Watson had the winner once he tabled A♥9♦ to take the pot with his flush.
