Watts Doubles and Johnson's Stack Depleted
Level 30
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Tom Waters raised to 250,000 from middle position and Austin Putnam Johnson pushed all in from the button for 1,750,000. Steve Watts announced that he was all in and pushed his chips in the middle. Waters folded and two players flipped their cards. Watts had slightly more chips and so Johnson was the player at risk.
Steve Watts: 
Austin Putnam Johnson: 
The board ran out 
. The board brought no help for Johnson and so Watts' pocket queens held up for the double. Johnson was left with just a few big blinds behind.
