Watson Halts Holskyi
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to Konstantyn Holskyi on the button, who opened to 2,000. Mike Watson responded with a three-bet to 7,500 in the small blind. Holskyi called.
On the 10?9?6? flop, Watson continued with a bet of 4,500 and Holskyi called.
The A? rolled off on the turn, and Watson again reached for chips and fired out a bet of 18,000. Holskyi, for almost half his stack, called quickly.
The 7? completed the board and Watson slowed down, checking to his opponent. Holskyi checked back quickly.
Watson showed A?Q? for a pair of aces and Holskyi mucked his hand.
