Mike Watson made it 66,000 to go from an early position and Joakim Andersson moved all-in for just 104,702 on the button. The instant call of Watson followed as he put yet another opponent at risk,

Joakim Andersson: {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Mike Watson: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Andersson paired up on the {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop but the {j-Clubs} turn left all but a few chop outs if a higher club were to follow. The {10-Diamonds} river brought no miracle escape and Andersson departed in 8th place.

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 3,500 ante

Dzivielevski led the {5-Clubs} river for 134,250 and Watson paid it off with {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a pair of queens. That was no good, as Dzivielevski had flopped top pair with {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.
