Watson Doubles With Aces

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 150 ante

Action folded all the way around to the early overall chip leader, "ReWARds84", and they limped in for 1,200. In the big blind, Mike "SirWatts" Watson raised to 4,200, only to see "ReWARds84" moved all in over the top. It was bad timing for the chip leader, as Watson quickly called off his final 40,000 with pocket aces, well ahead of the {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts} of "ReWARds84."

The flop of {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades} gave "ReWARds84" some life, and the {10-Hearts} gave them even more outs. However, the {2-Diamonds} river was a brick, and Watson scored the double up, though he is still under the starting stack of 100,000.
