Watson Has Chips; Pot for Borovkov
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On Table #21, Mike Watson has a mountain of chips which appear to have come from Aaron Mermelstein. Watson has just under two starting stacks, with Memelstein on around 32,500.
Alexey Borovkov started his pursuit of closing the gap between himself and Watson by raising to 2,500 from under the gun. Dante Goya and Felipe Ketzer called from the cutoff and big blind.
Borovkov continued for 5,000 on the J♣10♠5♣ flop and only Goya called. The J♠ turn checked through to the 6♥ river, where Borovkov's bet of 16,000 folded out his opponent.
