Remember When Watt Defeated Dwan?

With about 7,000 in the pot and a board reading {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, Simon Watt fired out 4,500 an put the pressure on James Whittet. With a full house on the board, Whittet must have thought there was a good chance for a chop as he tanked for quite awhile; however, he ultimately conceded the hand and allowed Watt to chip up to 37,000.

Watt is best known for winning a bracelet in the 2010 World Series of Poker Event #11 $1,500 No Limit Hold'em when he famously defeated Tom "durrrr" Dwan in heads-up play and saving the high-stakes poker players hundreds of thousands of dollars in a bracelet prop bet.
