Watson and Flink Double as Lim Joins the Field

Level 3

Mike Watson got 27,500 in with {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and held against Sam Higgs' {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} on a {6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} board to trim the Australian's chip lead.

Meanwhile, on the other table, Dario Sammartino's shove on a {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} board was enough to force Isaac Haxton out of the hand, but Jochanan Flink stuck around.

Dario Sammartino: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Jochanan Flink: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

It was a straight draw against top set, and Sammartino made his straight on the {q-Spades} turn.

However, the {q-Diamonds} paired the board giving Flink a full house, meaning Sammartino was forced to use his second 50,000 bullet.

Chin Wei Lim is the latest player to jump into the field.
