Watson Walks

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Mike Watson (from a previous event)
Mike Watson (from a previous event)

Tobias Reinkemeier opened to 5,500 only to have Mike Watson move all in for 67,500 from the button. Michael Matthews iso-shoved to force Reinkemeier to fold.

Watson: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Matthews: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

Unfortunately for Watson, the board would run out {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{J-Spades}{Q-Clubs} to see Matthew's go runner-runner to make a Broadway straight and force Watson out the rail.

Lucky Lew

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Randy Lew has just soared up the counts to now sit with 420,000.

Amazingly our PokerNews reporter firstly witnessed Lew's {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} best an opponent's {Q-}{Q-} after the board ran out {6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. A few hands later Lew would again run kings into queens to eliminate a player and sit where he does now - inside the top ten chip counts.

Roberts Doubles Through Teng

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Andrew Teng opened with an early position raise which Earl Roberts called from the big blind as a {6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop fell.

Roberts led for 6,000 only to have Ten raise to 17,000. Roberts went into the tank before eventually moving all in for roughly 50,000 as Teng made the call.

Roberts: {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Teng: {A-}{A-}

The turn and river landed the {2-Diamonds} and {J-Diamonds} to send Roberts soaring up to 128,000 as Teng slips to 55,000 in chips.

Gray Gone, Sowers Climbing

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Jason Gray
Jason Gray

Mike Sowers opened to 7,500 only to have Jason Gray three-bet to 21,000. Sowers responded by moving all in for roughly 119,000 and Gray made the call for roughly his 110,000.

Sowers: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Gray: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop saw Sowers take a commanding lead, and when the {K-Clubs} landed on the turn, Gray would be drawing dead as the meaningless {Q-Spades} fell on the river.

As Gray headed to the rail, Sowers climbed to 240,000 in chips.

Rodrigues Surging

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Manny Rodrigues entered the pot with a raise to 6,800 from the hi-jack only to have his opponent bump it to 17,000 from the cutoff.

Rodrigues made the call as the {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}{J-Clubs} flop was checked through. The turn of the {5-Spades} saw Rodrigues lead for 27,800 with his opponent making the call before the {2-Hearts} completed the board.

Rodrigues fired out 50,000 and his opponent made the call.

Rodrigues tabled his {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} to prompt a muck from his opponent as he soared to 250,000 in chips.
