Watson’s Eights Take It Down
Level 25
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Mike Watson opened in the hijack to 250,000, and Jake Greenbaum on the button three-bet to 500,000, which Watson called.
Both players checked the 8♠6♠9♥ flop.
On the 5♦ turn, Watson bet 300,000 and Greenbaum made the call.
The 3♠ river completed the board and both players checked. Greenbaum tabled A♦10♠ for ace-high, while Watson held A♣8♣ for a pair of eights, which was enough to drag the pot.
