Watkins Picks Up

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

William Watkins opened to 1,000 from under the gun, and Mark Wiser called from early position. Antonis Poulengeris called in middle position, and Eric Phillips three-bet the hijack to 4,500.

Watkins was the only caller, and the players went heads-up to the flop.

The 310Q flop saw Watkins check-raise to 11,000 after Phillips bet 2,500. Phillips folded, handing the pot to Watkins.
