Watson Finds New Life
Level 12
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Douglas Watson lost most of his chips to Pablo Mariz a few hands ago and was left with just 26,500. He shoved from the small blind the next hand and got a fold from the big blind.
In the next hand, Francois Billard raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and Watson jammed on the button for about 35,000. Billard called.
Douglas Watson: 
Francois Billard: 
Watson had the best of it, but the likelihood of a chop was fairly good. The flop came 
and Watson picked up a flush draw. The turn was the 
and the river was the 
. Both players ended up with two pair aces and sixes but Watson's eight played and he doubled up.
