Watson Takes a Couple
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Action was picked up on the river of a board reading 
. From the big blind, Renan Bruschi bet 170,000 into a pot of about 200,000. Mike Watson was in the small blind and thought for a while before he shoved forward most of his stack for a raise to about 450,000.
Bruschi folded quickly before the amount of the raise could be verified to send Watson the pot.
A couple of hands later, the board read 
. Watson bet 150,000 over to Simon Lofberg who folded and Watson won another decent pot to continue his upward momentum.
