Watson Back on Top
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Mike Watson raised to 250,000 in the cutoff with K♠3♠ and Leonard Maue called out of the big blind with Q♦J♣. The flop came J♦7♦6♥ and both players checked to the K♥ on the turn.
Maue checked again and Watson opted to check back after hitting top pair. The river was the 9♠ and Maue fired out a bet of 225,000 with a pair of jacks. Watson quickly flicked in a call and was awarded the pot to retake the chip lead.
