Flink Calls Watson’s Bluff
A fascinating hand, easily the longest of the final day so far, just saw Robert Flink double up in stunning fashion against Mike Watson.
Watson bet on the flop and turn and shoved on the river holding just [5h4d] to Robert Flink’s [QsJd] as the board of [JsAh7h2cTh] saw Flink call it off with second pair when on the bubble.
With only 185,000 in his stack by the river, Watson’s all-in putting Robert Flink to the ultimate test on the bubble, could Flink make the call?
Two timebank cards were tossed into the middle for what was a huge decision for the clearly agonizing Flink. A cash game legend playing at the highest stakes, Flink is the least experienced tournament player at this table, but he made a stunning call to take the pot down and bump his stack to 590,000.
A superstar call has put Robert Flink right back into contention to win this event, while Mike Watson ambitious and brilliant bluff was unable to get Flink to fold on the bubble and now it’s ‘Sir Watts’ himself whi finds himself under threat of leaving with nothing.
