Level 4
: 200/400, 50 ante
In a raising war, Mike Watson squeezed to 7,700 out of the big blind and Sam Greenwood called on the button. Both players checked the 
flop before the 
turn saw a check from Watson. Greenwood bet 5,000 and Watson let go.
The table not only features another Canadian but in fact Sam's brother Luc, which may make upcoming hand histories from that very table somewhat confusing.
