Sir Watts WINS Bellagio Cup IV WPT

westside8

Wattssssssssssssssssssssss

Hand #149 - David Benyamine has the button, he raises to 500,000, Watson raises to 1.5 million, Benyamine moves all in, and Watson immediately calls with AK. Benyamine shows QQ, and it's the classic race, with the tournament or a huge chip lead at stake.

The flop comes 1082, and Benyamine retains the lead with his pocket queens.

The turn card is the 5, and Benyamine retains the lead. Watson's large group of friends starts shouting for an ace, and things like, "One time!"

The river card is -- the A!

Watson doubles up with a pair of aces.

Watson's friends cheer and clap on the rail, but he almost looks sheepish as he walks back to the table. Benyamine goes over to look at his stack to see what kind of damage he's gonna take.

David Benyamine - 2,665,000
Mike "SirWatts" Watson - 17,440,000

SHIP IT!!!

The blinds are still at 100,000-200,000 with a 20,000 ante.

Hand #154 - Mike Watson has the button, he moves all in, and Benyamine immediately calls all in for 2,985,000 with K9. Watson shows Q9, and he'll need to improve to win the tournament here.

The flop comes AQ6, and Watson pairs his queen to take the lead.

The turn card is the 9, and Benyamine needs a king on the river to stay alive.

The river card is the 7, and Mike Watson wins the pot -- and the tournament -- with two pair, queens and nines.

No idea, I know bond has 5% of his action but that's all I knew, hopefully there was no chop!!!

That fucker owes all his success to the Bristol street training IMO

Way to go Mike you played a great tournament after day 2 you pretty much had the chip lead YOU deserve it so much congats. How much did you get from Bond when he won his $5000 buy in for almost 500,000.
