Watson's Pocket Pair Holds
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jeremiah Wheeler opened in the cutoff and Jesse Watson moved all in on the button for 220,000. After some thought, Wheeler put in the call.
Jesse Watson: 7?7? 
Jeremiah Wheeler: A?8?
Watson fell behind when the flop revealed A?Q?J?. That was until the turn came the 7?, locking up the win for him. The meaningless 6? landed on the river, and Watson was pushed the pot.
