Watson Off to a Decent Start
Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Mike Watson made it 3,500 to go in the hijack and Rudy Halim opted to come along from the big blind. On the 9♠7♠3♣ flop, Halim check-called for 13,000 and checked again the 7♦ on the turn, Watson fired a second barrel for 18,000 and Halim called.
The 6♠ came on the river and Halim now bet 60,000 first to act. Watson raised to 225,000 for most of his covering stack and forced out Halim.
