Watson Still Running Hot

Level 11 : 1,750/3,500, 450 ante

Daniel Dvoress raised early to 7,700 and Mike Watson three-bet to 18,900 on his left. Dvoress responded with an all-in shove for about 112K that Watson called.

Dvoress: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Watson: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The {j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop favored Watson. Dvoress' outs changed on the {10-Hearts} turn but the {5-Clubs} river was a brick regardless.

Mike Watson opened early, Benjamin Rolle shoved for 55K in the hijack, and Mikita Badziakouski did the same for 115K in the big blind. Watson had an easy call.

Watson: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Badziakouski: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Rolle: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

It was a lovely spot for Watson and the {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} board was just fine for him.

Rudolph Busts With Rags

Level 13 : 2,250/4,500, 550 ante

Action folded to the small blind, where Chris Rudolph ripped in 62K. Darrell Goh called in the big with {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Rudolph produced just {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

He got no help on {j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades} but a lot of it on the {8-Diamonds} to pick up a heap of outs. The {q-Spades} wasn't one of them.
