Watson vs Elias
Watson vs Elias

Mike Watson got the last 215,360 in from the hijack and Darren Elias reshoved for more than two times of that out of the small blind. Stephen Chidwick gave it some thought in the big blind and folded.

Mike Watson: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Darren Elias: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The kicker played a pivotal role on the {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{5-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} board as Watson was gone two spots away from the money.
