Watson Overtakes Grieco
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Nicola Grieco raised to 10,000 in the cutoff and Mike Watson reraised to 36,000 out of the small blind. Grieco called and the flop of J♣8♥2♦ was spread on the felt.
Watson led out with a bet of 45,000 and Grieco mulled it over for a minute before dispatching his cards. Watson became the new table captain and one of the leaders in the entire field.
