Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Action folded to Mike Watson in the cutoff, who raised to 100,000. It then folded to the big blind Viktor Kudinov, who three-bet to put Watson all in for his stack of 630,000. Watson made the call to put himself at risk.
Mike Watson: J♠J♦ 
Viktor Kudinov: 10♦10♣
Watson had the bigger pocket pair, and once the board ran out 9♣K♥9♠6♠9♥ Watson improved to the bigger full house, nines full of jacks, to secure the double up.
