: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Mark Herm opened to 52,000 out of the small blind and Mike Watson flatted in defense of his big blind.
After the dealer fanned a flop of 
across the felt, Herm continued his line with a 52,000 c-bet, and Watson flatted once more to take the 
on the turn.
Both players tapped the table and the river card came 
to complete the board. Herm fired away with a 69,000 wager, but after a long moment of deliberation Watson raised to 200,000. Herm stared his man down for a few minutes and counted out calling chips while eyeing his remaining stack. Eventually he surrendered, telling Watson "you got it" from across the table.
