Wattel Gives Up 2k

Mike Wattel recently got involved in a hand, while in the big blind, after calling a raise to 250 from the player in the cutoff.

The two were heads up to the flop, which came {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Wattel led out for 250 and his opponent called.

The turn brought the {a-Hearts} and Wattel checked to his opponent who then bet 550. Wattel responded with a raise to 1,200, getting the call.

Both players checked the {a-Spades} on the river and Wattel showed {j-Spades}{10-Spades} which was no good against his opponent's {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Wattel is now down to 28,000 chips.
