Watt-ever

Simon Watt opened the action by raising to 7,500 from early position. Mike Allis made the call from late position and the player on the button decided to tag along as well.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Watt opened by betting 10,000. Allis mucked his cards rather quickly and the player on the button went into the tank. Eventually he mucked his cards, and Watt was able to grab the pot.

A few hands later, on a flop of {3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}, Watt bet 20,000 into his opponent. The opponent made the call and the {4-Spades} turned. Watt decided on 30,000 this time around and once again his opponent called. The {A-Spades} fell on the river and Watt moved all in. His opponent folded and Watt was able to scoop yet another pot, solidifying him as one of our top stacks remaining in the tournament.
