Three players put in 5,000 on the flop including Mike Watson who was in the big blind.
Watson acted first on the turn and he checked. So did his opponents.
They all checked the river, which wasn't Watson's plan. He was ready to fire a check-raise, but he never got a chance.
Watson tabled his for flopped two pairs, turned nut flush, and he didn't receive any extra penny on the last two streets.
Nonetheless, Watson still claimed a nice pot, improving to roughly 55,000.

“What up Weinman?” Daniel Negreanu asked his tablemate as they both bought in and sat down at the same table.
“I had a twenty-four hour nap. I’m feeling good,” Weinman replied.
Negreanu is looking fresh and ready to go too. He won one small pot and then from the big blind checked down another one only to declare to the player on the button, “Two pair,” which was good for another small pot.
“Two scared pair again,” Negreanu chuckled.

Jeff Madsen sat down to Daniel Negreanu's right, so we stuck around to see if anything would happen.
The gut feeling was right, although Madsen was only a spectator, sitting between the two main characters. A player in the lojack opened to 1,300 and Negreanu called, saying, "How much do you want?"
"Fours cards, anything can happen," Negreanu added.
The big blind joined the action and they went three ways to the flop. The original raiser asked what a pot is and bet out the max, making it 4,150. Negreanu had a strong response, "I raise pot," re-potting it to 16,600.
The big blind wasn't willing to let his hand go that fast, admitting, "I have a big hand."
Negreanu immediately replied with, "Shhh," indicating that a hand shouldn't be discussed in a multi-way pot.
The player in the big blind folded and the lojack asked Negreanu how much he had left behind. It was 20,700. In the meantime, the player in the big blind stood up, took his phone, and started shooting a video of Negreanu.
Negreanu liked that, posing like a Popeye the Sailor, showing his biceps.
The lojack called and, when the hit the turn, he moved all in to put Negreanu at risk. Negreanu called right away.

Negreanu was ahead and he managed to avoid a king on the blank river.
