Wattel's Woes

Mike Wattel
Mike Wattel

A player opened to 1,100 from middle position and Mike Wattel called from the cutoff. All action behind folded, and the flop fell {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Wattel's opponent instantly bet 2,000 and Wattel called.

The turn brought the {8-Spades} and Wattel's opponent bet even faster. This time the amount was 3,000, and Wattel tossed in three yellow T1,000 chips making the call.

The river was the {2-Spades} and Wattel's opponent fired a third barrel worth 5,000. Wattel went into the tank for a bit before calling, and mucked when his opponent showed him {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

Wattel's stack took a hit, and he now sits with 39,000 chips.
