Two Pair No Good for Watson
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Taylor von Kriegenbergh raised on the button to 35,000 and was called by both the small blind Mike Watson and the big blind Leon Sturm.
All three players checked the K♦8♦2♠ flop to see the 5♦ on the turn. Watson then checked to Sturm, who bet out 55,000, which got von Kriegenbergh to fold, and Watson made the call.
The river was the 9♠, and Watson checked to Sturm, who moved in for Watson's stack of 121,000, which he called. Sturm tabled 7♥6♦ for a straight, and Watson flashed 9♣8♣ for a no-good two pair as he left the tournament area.
