Gjoka Eliminates Watson to Extend His Lead at the Top
Level 29
: 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Nathan Watson was happy to get all his chips into the middle against current chip leader Artur Gjoka, and the former came off worse.
Watson's stack was being moved in Gjoka's direction when we got to the table and in front of him was pocket eights. But Gjoka held pocket nines, and the board didn't help Watson get out of trouble.
Watson departs with £6,250 as Gjoka takes another big step towards being the first player to hit 200m.
