Waters Wipeout

[user67765]

Craig Waters potted from under the gun, Roy Bhasin re-potted and Waters called for the last of his chips.

Waters held a versatile {9-Diamonds}

looked good for Waters to find another double-up, but the {A-Spades}

spiked on the river to eliminate him from the tournament. Bhasin is back up to 182,000 chips.
