Watts on a Hot Streak

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Bill Chen raised from early position to 8,000 and Watts flatted in position. Gavin Polone, in the big blind, decided to call and said to Watts, "I'm really just calling to prove that you can't win every hand." Watts just smiled.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. All three players checked.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and brought some more action. Polone led out this time for 20,000, Chen folded and Watts made the call. As the river came, Watts asked Polone what he was playing. In fact, Polone just had about 55,000 left. The river fell the {J-Clubs} and Polone let Watts bet this time for 35,000. After Polone called, Watts showed that his amazing hot streak hadn't stopped just yet when he threw down the {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a set.

Polone mucked and Watts is well out in front with 425,000. Polone was eliminated just a few hands later.
