Mike Watson Takes the Chip Lead

Mike Watson raises to 3,500 from the hijack, Ole Schemion calls from the cutoff and Lee Markholt three-bets to 11,500 from the button. Both Watson and Schemion call.

They check to the turn of a board where Schemion bets 24,500. Markholt calls before Watson check-raises to 75,000. Schemion uses his two remaining time-extension chips before he folds, and Markholt folds as well.

With that pot, Mike Watson takes a slight chip lead.

Mike Watson – 326,000
Ole Schemion – 81,000
Lee Markholt – 68,000
