Elementary, My Dear Watson

On an {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} board and with 7,200 waiting patiently in the middle, recent WPT victor Michael Watson led out for 5,000 and Devilfish made the call. A {K-Diamonds} river was swiftly followed by a deep reach from Devilfish who slid enough chips across the line to put his foe all in.

With around 10,000 behind,Watson released a giant sigh before scratching his head pensively. At first, he seemed poised for a fold as he grasped his cards, but after a minute or two of further deliberation, opted for the call.

As Devilfish went to reveal his cards, Watson dejectedly asked, "Jack ten or nine ten?" Devilfish flipped the latter as he lay {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} onto the felt.
