Watson Cracks Benefield's Kings
Mike Watson opened for 18,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 44,000 by David Benefield in the small blind. Watson responded by moving all in, Benefield called, and the cards were tabled:
Showdown
Watson: ![]()
![]()
Benefield: ![]()
![]()
Watson was in need of an ace, and he found one on the ![]()
![]()
flop. Neither the
turn nor
river would allow Benefield to catch back up, and Watson received a welcomed double.
