Watt Sucks Out To Claim Commanding Position

[user92162]

Simon Watt opened the button to 75,000 and Gerome Guitteau made his standard three-bet to 200,000. Watt retaliated by four-betting to 525,000 and Guitteau made the call.

They took a {8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop and Guitteau checked. Watt went into the tank before moving all in and Guitteau made a quick call.

Watt: {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Guitteau: {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Guitteau was in front and would just have to dodge the ace or running cards to win the tournament.

Unfortunately for Guitteau, the {A-Spades} spiked the turn and put Watt in front, much to the delight of the home New Zealand fans.

The river was the {Q-Spades} shipping the pot to a delighted Watt. Guitteau has a mountain to climb now with just 540,000 chips.
