Wattel Hangs On
A player raised to 325 from the cutoff seat, the button folded, and the small blind called. Mike Wattel then reraised all in for his last 1,200 total. The player in the cutoff considered for a minute, then let his hand go. The small blind also took about a minute to decide what to do, and he chose to call.
Wattel showed while his opponent turned over . The board came , and Wattel survived.
The original raiser exhaled as if disappointed after seeing the board. "Your junk would have made a straight?" he was asked by a player not in the hand. He shook his head. "Ace-six," he said, to which Wattel said "Good fold" with a smile.
Wattel now has a little over 2,700.
