Mike Watson opened to 25,000 from the hijack, and Aleksandr Zubov slid in a call from the big blind.
Zubov checked the 10♦7♣6♣ flop, and Watson continued with a bet of 41,000.
That produced a quick fold from Zubov, and Watson added to his stack.

Kristen Foxen shoved from under the gun for 94,000, and Cary Katz, on her immediate left, called. The rest of the table mucked to leave the players heads-up, with Foxen at risk.
Kristen Foxen: A♦7♠
Cary Katz: A♣Q♥
Foxen was dominated, and once the board ran out 2♥Q♦6♦A♠K♦ Katz's two pair was best, eliminating Foxen.
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic raised to 26,000 in the small blind, and Thomas Boivin replied with a three-bet to 118,000 in the big blind. Kaladjurdjevic took some time before announcing all in, and Boivin snapped it off.
Thomas Boivin: A♠A♣
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: A♦J♦
Boivin's pocket aces faced no danger on the 8♥6♥Q♠4♦7♣ board, doubling his stack through Kaladjurdjevic.
Level: 13
Blinds: 6,000/12,000

The remaining players have reached the first 15-minute break of the day.
Action will resume with blinds of 6,000/12,000/12,000.
Cary Katz raised to 20,000 from under the gun, and Ryan Rapaski three-bet to 60,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Katz, who announced all in.
Rapaski quickly called, leaving himself at risk.
Ryan Rapaski: A♠Q♠
Cary Katz: K♣K♥
Katz turned over pocket kings, which held through the 2♣9♦3♠Q♥7♦ runout to send Rapaski to the rail. He was soon joined by Daniel Dvoress and Wai Kiat Lee, who were sent out before the break.
Seth Davies opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 20,000 before Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 60,000 in the cutoff. Then Joseph Oren, on the button, put in a four-bet to 145,000, and it quickly folded back to Davies, and he mucked his hand as well. Jaffe then announced "call," but Oren misheard, thinking he said "all in," and flicked in a calling chip, and turned over his AxKx before realizing Jaffe just called.
The floor came over and said play on, as the flop came K♠9♣J♥.
Daniel Negreanu took out his selfie stick to vlog about the incident, bringing Seth Davies over and saying, "I don't know what I would do!" Negreanu wasn't alone, because once Jaffe checked, Oren used several time banks with a baffled look on his face, before electing to check back and see the 10♣ on the turn.
This time, Jaffe elected to bet out 100,000, which put Oren back in the tank. After another time bank was used, Oren decided to muck his top pair, top kicker, and give Jaffe the pot.
When action folded to Tom Heung in the cutoff, he raised to 20,000. After the button folded, Johan "YoH ViraL" Guilbert three-bet to 60,000 in the small blind. It folded back to Heung, who four-bet enough to cover Guilbert, who made the call for 236,000 to put himself at risk.
Johan Guilbert: A♦J♦
Tom Heung: J♠J♥
Guilbert was in rough shape, only having three outs, which he was unable to find once the board ran out, ending his run and giving the pot to Heung.
