Watson Doubles Through Chidwick

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Mike Watson
Mike Watson

Just one hand after getting his pocket aces cracked, Mike Watson raised it up from under the gun and was called by Stephen Chidwick and Jean-Noel Thorel.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and the action checked to Chidwick who bet 2,500. Thorel check-raised to 6,500 and Watson three-bet to 18,000. Chidwick shoved all in which got Thorel to fold and Watson called off his last 48,000 chips.

Mike Watson: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Stephen Chidwick: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Chidwick flopped a pair with a flush draw but needed to improve against Watson's pair of kings. The {a-Spades} and {2-Spades} runout provided no help and Watson doubled up.
