Watson Chipping Up
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 180,000 ante
Having chipped up with some recent key bluffs, Mike Watson raised 400,000 from the small blind with 10x9x7x6x3x. Jason Mercier, who had been on the wrong end of some those hands, called from the big.
Mercier drew two to 9x8x2x catching AxJx.
Watson checked to set up a check-raise, but Mercier elected to go to the showdown, losing another pot and increasing his frustration.
