"Let's Gamble!" Says Watson
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The action was caught as Wayne Watson, in the cutoff, was facing an all-in from both Michael Reisek, on the button, and Rijad Hasani, in middle position. Hasani had them both covered, and Watson was making a decision for his tournament life.
"Let's gamble!" said Watson as he slid his chips over the line.
Michael Reisek: A♦Q♠
Wayne Watson: K♥9♥
Hasani: A♣Q♥
Watson's gamble looked to pay off on the 2♥5♥8♦ flop, giving him a flush draw. But the 3♦ turn and 4♦ turn denied him that privilege, and he was sent to the rail. Hasani won a substantial sidepot, while Reisek had to settle for his chopped share of the blinds and ante, and Watson headed to the rebuy desk.
