Gurney Felts Watson

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante
Mike Watson
Mike Watson

Mike Watson opened to 1,700 from the cutoff and received a single call from Larry Gurney out of the big blind.

The flop came {5-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Gurney checked to Watson, who continued for 1,000. Gurney made the call to send the players to the turn.

On the {q-Spades} turn, Gurney checked again but this time, when Watson fired off a second bet of 3,200, Gurney responded with a raise to 7,000. Watson gave his decision some thought before moving all in. Gurney snapped it off to put Watson at risk.

Mike Watson: {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Larry Gurney: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}

Gurney was ahead of Watson's two pair with the turned flush and would just need to fade eights and kings heading to the river. The {2-Diamonds} gave no help to Watson, sending him to the rail, and giving Gurney a large boost to his stack.
