Watson Has Maue on the Ropes
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Mike Watson limped in on the button with K♥J♣ and Leonard Maue raised to 1,000,000 in the big blind with Q♣8♥. The flop fell J♥7♦2♣ and Maue continued with a bet of 700,000. Watson raised to 2,100,000 with top pair and Maue quickly mucked his cards.
A couple of hands later, Maue opened to 500,000 on the button with 6♣6♦ and Watson reraised to 1,350,000 in the big blind with A♣9♣. Maue just called and the flop of 9♦8♥4♠ was spread across the felt.
Watson led out with a bet of 1,500,000 after making top pair again and Maue called. The turn was the K♣ and Watson jammed all in, forcing Maue to lay his hand down.
