Hands #58-60: Watson Takes Over the Chip Lead

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Hand #58: Sam Higgs limped and then called a raise from Mike Watson, which brought about a flop of {5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Watson bet 25,000, Higgs called, and the {8-Diamonds} appeared on the turn. Watson bet again, this time 75,000, and Higgs snap-called. When the {Q-Clubs} completed the board on the river, Watson bet the size of the pot (236,000) and Higgs thought long and hard before releasing his hand.

Hand #59: Watson raised to 18,000 from the button, Higgs called, and the flop fell {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Higgs checked and then folded to a bet of 18,000.

Hand #60: Higgs raised to 16,000 from the button, Watson called, and then both players checked the {2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop. Watson checked for a second time on the {A-Diamonds} turn and Higgs bet 21,000. Watson woke up with a check-raise to 65,000, Higgs called, and the {Q-Spades} completed the board on the river. Watson fired out 135,000 and Higgs thought for about a minute before making the call. Watson rolled over the {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a set, and it was good as Higgs folded. With that Watson took over the chip lead.
