Watson Rising
Level 28
: 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
Mike Watson has claimed four out of six hands and bumped up his stack to nearly close the gap to Jess Cortes and Juha Helppi, the latter of which he beat in the biggest pot.
Helppi min-raised the button and Watson came along to the 
flop, on which he check-called a bet of 148,500 by Helppi. No betting action followed on the 
turn and 
river as Watson earned the checkmark with 
for two pair as Helppi only had 
for a pair of eights.
