Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A player under the gun bet 8,000 on a flop of 9♠4♣4♥ and Kevin Watson called in early position, as did Brett Slezak in the small blind.
The turn was the A♠ and the under-the-gun player bet another 8,000. Watson then raised to 20,000 and Slezak got out of the way, but the under-the-gun player called to see the 5♠ river.
He then moved all in for 40,000, and Watson practically beat him into the pot. Watson turned over 9♦9♣ for a flopped full house, and the all-in player tossed A♦10♥ into the muck as he made his exit.
"The rich get richer," Slezak said to Watson after the hand.
