Watson Doubles Up

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Philipp Gruissem opened to 16,000 preflop and Mike Watson called in the big blind with just 22,000 behind. The flop was {2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Watson checked and Gruissem wished him good luck before moving in.

Watson replied, "I call, I have trips."

Watson: {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Gruissem: {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The {5-Spades} turn and {7-Diamonds} river changed nothing and Watson survived the abyss.
