Chalot Wins From Kempton; Loses to Watson
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
There was a reraise to 180,000 in front of Isaac Kempton in the cutoff and he then faced the squeeze of Benjamin Chalot to 400,000, which ended the hand right there.
Shortly after, Mike Watson limped the small blind and Chalot checked the option to the 6♥6♦2♠ flop. Watson checked, then called a bet of 60,000. The same action repeated on the 9♠ turn albeit for 250,000 and Chalot opted to check behind the Q♦ on the river. Watson tabled the 9♦8♦ and it was good enough to win the pot.
