Watson Folds to a Shove

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

There was a substantial pot of about 7,000 already brewing and the board read {Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts} when we got to the table. Mike Watson was in middle position and heads-up against the small blind, who had checked. Watson bet 4,500, the small blind check-raised to 15,500, and after brief consideration, Watson called.

The {5-Diamonds} hit the river and the small blind shoved for what looked like 27,100. Watson went into the tank for over three minutes before he ultimately folded. The small blind showed {9-}{4-} as the dealer pushed the pot his way.

"I just wanted to do that one time," he said.
