Pardo Takes from Watson
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Juan Pardo opened to 20,000 from the cutoff and Mike Watson defended in the big blind.
Watson checked on the flop of 
and Pardo bet 40,000 for a nearly pot-sized bet. Undeterred, Watson called. Watson checked again on the 
turn and Pardo used a time bank before checking back.
Watson checked a third time on the 
river and Pardo sized up to 75,000. Watson tanked for a bit and then folded, though he squirmed a bit in his chair as he did so.
"I probably had the best hand," the Canadian muttered.
