Watson Doubles Through Benitez

Level 7 : 2,500/5,000, 625 ante
Mike Watson
Mike Watson

Rafael "GM_VALTER" Moraes was in middle position and raised to 10,000. Mike "SirWatts" Watson three-bet to 27,500 in the cutoff and Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez cold four-bet to 70,000 in the small blind. Moraes folded and Watson called, taking action heads up to a flop of {3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Benitez made a continuation-bet of 52,800 and Watson called.

The turn was {7-Spades} and Benitez jammed for just over 300,000 effective. Watson called all in.

Mike "SirWatts" Watson: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Watson could not lose, finding himself needing only to fade a five for a chop. He did so as the river came {7-Hearts} to score him the double, leaving Benitez under 100,000 after ht the pot was shipped Watson's way.
