Mike Watson Eliminated in 5th Place (€124,000)
Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Niklas Astedt raised to 125,000 on the button, Mike Watson shoved all in for around 200,000 in the small blind, and Astedt called.
Mike Watson: A♥8♣
Niklas Astedt: A♣6♦
Watson had Astedt dominated as the 5♥2♥2♠ flop left open the possibility of a chop. Astedt, though, hit the 6♠ on the turn to make two pair and the river came the 3♠ to send Watson to the rail in fifth place.
"This guy," Watson sighed as he prepared to make the long walk out of the room.
