Watson Hits the Nuts

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

Three players put in 5,000 on the {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop including Mike Watson who was in the big blind.

Watson acted first on the {K-Hearts} turn and he checked. So did his opponents.

They all checked the {7-Diamonds} river, which wasn't Watson's plan. He was ready to fire a check-raise, but he never got a chance.

Watson tabled his {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{A-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for flopped two pairs, turned nut flush, and he didn't receive any extra penny on the last two streets.

Nonetheless, Watson still claimed a nice pot, improving to roughly 55,000.
