Watson Picks Off Bluff

Nick Becker

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action picked up on the river with about 20,000 in the pot and the board reading 3♥Q♦9♦3♣4♣. Jesse Watson, who was on the button, was faced with a bet of 9,000 from the player in the big blind.

After some thought, Watson flicked in the call and the big blind turned over J♦6♦, for a busted flush draw.

Watson tabled A♣7♣ for ace-high, which was good enough to take down the pot.
