Watkinson Bests Duhamel

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Lee Watkinson opened the button to 1,500, and Jonathan Duhamel three-bet to 4,275 from the small blind. Watkinson flatted, and off they went heads-up.

The dealer spread out a {9-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts} flop, and Duhamel continued out with a bet of 4,700. Watkinson considered, then shoved all in with his covering stack. The two cards Duhamel was holding couldn't have hit the muck any faster, and he's chosen to save 11,250 chips for a better spot.

Like, one where he hits the flop, for example.
