Watson Bests Chidwick

Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The flop read 3?5?10? and 7,500 was already in the middle in a hand between Stephen Chidwick on the button and Michael Watson in the big blind.
Watson checked to Chidwick, who fired out a bet of 2,000. Watson pondered the spot momentarily before producing a check-raise to 8,000. Chidwick called.
On the 8? turn, Watson continued to fire, putting out a bet of 25,000, leading to a swift fold from Chidwick.
