Mike Watson Shoves, Koray Aldemir Calls

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Mike Watson moved all in for his last 87,000 from the cutoff and Koray Aldemir isolated by moving all in over the top from the small blind.

Watson: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Aldemir: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

The {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop gave Aldemir a set, but it also provided Watson an open-ended straight draw. The {2-Hearts} turn was of no consequence, but the {9-Diamonds} river was as Watson spiked one of his outs to crack the set.
