Pat Eight for Watson
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 300,000 ante
In the previous hand, Jason Mercier raised to 450,000 with AxKxJx7x2x. Mike Watson looked down at 9x9x6x3x2x and stuck in a three-bet to 1,400,000, to which Mercier quickly folded.
In the next hand, Watson got dealt an even better starting hand with 8x7x6x4x3x and raised to 450,000 himself. Mercier defended AxAx9x8x6x and pitched the aces, while Watson stood pat with his monster.
Mercier improved to a queen low with Qx9x8x6x5x and checked. Watson bet 600,000 and Mercier correctly dediced against it.
