Cairns Gets There on Ma - Watch or No Watch

Michael Ma kicked things into gear with a raise from under the gun. When it came around to David Cairns in the hijack, he bumped it up one more time. Ma would eventually make the call, but not before saying, "Don't get there on me. Your watch is worth enough. You don't need any more money."

When the saw a flop of {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, Ma check-called a bet from Cairns. However, it would be Ma leading out with bets on the turn, which was {9-Clubs} and river, which was {3-Spades}, getting calls from Cairns each time.

Despite Ma really not wanting Cairns to "get there," Cairns had no getting there to do. He was ahead the whole time, showing {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. It was Ma who had some getting there to get done, but failed to do so with his {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

After the hand, Cairns was up to 186,500 and Ma was down to 18,000.
