Mike Wattel Moves Ahead
Level 19
: 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante
Early in three-handed action, Mike Wattel played a hand to seventh street with Perry Friedman. Wattel made aces and sixes, which was just better that Friedman's aces and fours. Friedman also missed a flush draw.
On the next hand, Friedman got some chips from Chris Ferguson to bridge the gap between the two, both now sitting behind Wattel on the leaderboard.
Friedman: 
/ 
/
Ferguson: / 
/
Friedman bet sixth and seventh streets, and Ferguson called both streets. Friedman showed a ten-high straight, and Ferguson mucked trip fives face-up.
