Watson Wins at Showdown; Estes Gets Some Back from Boika
Level 24
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Mike Watson limped in from the small blind and called when Christian Pedersen raised to 350,000 from the big blind.
Watson check-called a bet of 200,000 on the 6♠5♥3♥ flop before both the J♦ turn and 4♠ river checked through to showdown. Watson tabled Kx6x for a pair of sixes to take the pot.
At the same time on the other table, there was around 750,000 in the pot on a 10♦10♠A♠2♦ board. Aliaksei Boika checked from the small blind and Zackary Estes fired 275,000 from the big blind. Boika called.
On the 9♠ river, Boika led out for 130,000 but released his hand when Estes raised to 1,100,000. A hand or two before, Estes had also three-bet to 600,000 over Boika's open, forcing another fold. The two have been battling frequently.
