Watson Takes on Laak

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Phil Laak raised from late position and then called when Canadian star Mike Watson three-bet to 2,200 from the button. Laak tapped the table and checked the arrival of the {2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop. Watson fired a continuation bet of 2,500 and Laak immediately called.

The turn brought the {4-Hearts} into view and Laak checked again. Laak's insta-call on the flop didn't deter Watson from betting again and he set the price to play at 6,200. Laak considered his options for around 15-seconds before settling on a fold.
