Felipe Ketzer made it 9,000 from early position, with an opponent calling. Mike Watson then made it 55,000 from the big blind, prompting Ketzer to four-bet to 110,000. After the player in the middle folded, Watson called.
Watson check-called bets of 59,000 and 92,000 for the board to read J♦5♠2♦K♦2♥. Watson checked for a third time, and Ketzer jammed for 139,000. Watson wasn't a fan of the spot, but decided to call after mulling over his options.
Ketzer tabled K♠K♣ for top set, besting Watson's A♣J♣.

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 35th episode, Connor talks with No Filter Poker Series founder Mounir Tajiou about growing up in Sweden, working as a high court judge, playing professional soccer, making a deep run in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and the new No Filter Poker Series, which values fun at the table over poker strategy.
We also hear from 1998 Main Event champion Scotty Nguyen, reigning WSOP champ Michael Mizrachi and Finnish poker legend Juha Helppi about their involvement with the No Filter Poker tour.
