Steve Watts Forces a Big Lay Down

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

On an {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades} board, Steve Watts led into his opponent for 3,625. His opponent, who had over 25,000 in chips, thought for a long while before laying down his hand. Watts immediately showed {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and his opponent claimed to have pocket queens for a set.

"With that stack? Yeah, right," Watts responded in his British accent. As they walked off for break, his opponent explained he didn't bet the flop because he read the board as having two kings. Watts doesn't seem to be buying it.
