Mike Watson limped in on the button with A♥6♠ and Leonard Maue checked his option holding 9♥4♣ in the big blind. The flop fell 10♣9♦7♠ and both players checked through to the 4♥ on the turn and the J♥ on the river. Maue finally bet 600,000 and Watson got out of the way.
Two hands later, Watson raised to 425,000 on the button with K♠J♣ and Maue called in the big blind with 8♠6♥. The flop came 5♥4♥3♦ and Maue led out with a bet of 350,000 which got Watson to send his cards to the muck.
