Watabe Gives Up on the River

Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jonathan Pastore raised to 3,400 from the small blind and Kiwamu Watabe called from the big blind.
On the 9?5?9? flop, Pastore checked, Watabe bet 2,600, and Pastore called.
A 10? fell on the turn and Pastore went into check-call mode again, this time after Watabe bet 8,000.
The 10? river went check-check, and before Pastore could even show his cards, Watabe had mucked. Regardless, Pastore tabled A?K? and was awarded the pot.
