Watson Wins at Showdown

Level 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Juan Pardo attempted to open to 2,200 from the hijack but had to settle for 2,500 as there were no 100 denomination chips in play. Mike Watson called in the cutoff and Christoph Vogelsang said he would have called from the big blind if it was 2,200 but folded for the expensive price.

Action checked through on the {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Pardo bet 2,500. Watson called.

The river was the {8-Hearts} and action checked through. Pardo showed {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a pair of eights while Watson took the pot down with top pair as he showed {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Daniel Dvoress guessed that Vogelsang had six four offsuit and Vogelsang said "Correct" and went on to name the suits.
