Watson's Pocket Pair Holds
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jeremiah Wheeler opened in the cutoff and Jesse Watson moved all in on the button for 220,000. After some thought, Wheeler put in the call.
Jesse Watson: 7♣7♥ 
Jeremiah Wheeler: A♠8♦
Watson fell behind when the flop revealed A♣Q♠J♥. That was until the turn came the 7♠, locking up the win for him. The meaningless 6♦ landed on the river, and Watson was pushed the pot.
