Watson On the Rise

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

As the frantic post registration period is somewhat slowing down, Mike "SirWatts" Watson chipped up to more than half a million. His under the gun raise was called by "Prof. Hitman" who check-called 20,000 on the {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop and 80,000 on the {4-Hearts} turn.

They checked the {3-Hearts} river and Watson earned the pot with {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} versus {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.
