Watts Takes a Stab; But Ziegelbecker Takes the Pot

We join the action on a flop of [Qd] [9d] [9h] and three players in the pot who are all happy to check through to the turn. The dealer produces the [6s] and Steve Watts draws first blood when he bets 950 from the big blind and both players call.

The river card is the [Ks] and all three players wave the white flag. Steve Watts shows [8h] [7s] for the open ender that didn’t get there, but the pot goes to Ziegelbecker who was holding a pair of red jacks.

Ziegelbecker ~ 22,000
Watts ~ 51,000
