Watson and Smith Fast-Forward Through the Streets
Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
A hand that ended up with a tournament-life-on-the-line moment for Kyle Watson took place at breakneck speed on Table 1. Watson opened preflop in the hijack (to something between 400 and 1,000 - there was a single orange chip in front of him) and his neighbour Ian Smith raised to 2,000. It folded round to Watson, who made the call, quickly.
Flop: 
. Watson checked to Smith, who bet 2,000 and was called, immediately.
Turn: 
. Another quick check-call combo, this time of 3,500.
River: 
. Watson now moved in almost in time with the river card becoming visible. His remaining stack: 11,800. Smith declined to call.
