Stein's Raise Does the Trick
Action folded to Sam Stein on the button and he raised to 17,000. After the small blind folded, Mike Watson three-bet to 44,000, Stein called and the flop fell 
. Watson thought for about 40 seconds before betting 45,000, and Stein thought for a little longer before raising it to 106,000. It proved enough to get the job done as Watson sent his cards to the muck.
