Watson Soars to the Top
Level 9
: 1,250/2,500, 300 ante
Timothy Adams made it 5,500 to go in the hijack and was called by Mike Watson out of the small blind, Arsenii Malinov stuck around from the big blind. The 
flop was checked to Adams, who bet 4,750 and earned one caller in Watson. On the 
turn, Watson check-called for another 30,000 and checked the 
river.
Adams jammed for 144,615 into a pot of 88,400 and Watson snap-called for the final 97,557 with the 
for a set. Adams only had 
and dropped to fewer than half the starting stack.
Three hands later, Malinov flipped preflop via cold four-bet jam and Watson called.
Arsenii Malinov: 
Mike Watson: 
The very same hands clashed and again, eights held thanks to the 
board.
