: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Mark Herm has chopped one of Mike Watson's legs out from under him, and now he is leaning on his man, hoping to make him fall.
On one hand Watson raised before the flop and Herm popped it up to 150,000. Watson flatted and the flop came 
, with Herm quickly leading out for 150,000. Watson relented and the pot was pushed to Herm.
A few hands passed with Herm open shoving to claim the blinds and antes, before Watson tried limping into the pot. Herm obliged by checking his option, and the flop rolled out 
. Herm then check-called a 40,000 wager, and both players tapped the table on the 
turn. When the 
completed the board on the river Herm led out for 55,000, and once more Watson's hand was slid toward the dealer in defeat.
