Mike Watson Eliminated in 9th Place ($71,363)

Action folded to the small blind, where Mike Watson shoved all in for 477,738. Benjamin Rolle was ready with {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds} but Watson had solid live cards with {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

The {j-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop favored Rolle but Watson still had equity. He grabbed a few more outs on the {k-Clubs} turn but the {4-Clubs} river didn't help him.
