Watson Doubles Through Chidwick
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
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 
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: 
Stephen Chidwick: 
Chidwick flopped a pair with a flush draw but needed to improve against Watson's pair of kings. The 
and 
runout provided no help and Watson doubled up.
