Watson Loses a Big Flip
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Yang Wang raised to 22,000 from the cutoff before Mike Watson three-bet to 60,000 from the button. Wang, the slightly bigger stack, moved all in. Watson, who started the hand with 349,000, called for his tournament life.
Mike Watson: Q♥Q♣
Yang Wang: A♦K♣
Wang immediately took the lead, paring his ace on the A♥5♥2♦ flop. The 3♠ turn brought in some chop outs, but Watson's run ended after the 8♠ river.
