James Watkins Eliminated in 6th Place ($39,790)
Level 29
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Ryan Stevenson opened to 80,000 from early position. Action folded all of the way around to James Watkins in the big blind and he counted out a three-bet to 225,000. Stevenson tanked for about a minute before four-betting all in. Watkins called for his tournament life and the cards were tabled.
Watkins: 
Stevenson: 
Stevenson needed help to score a knockout and got exactly that when he paired up on the 
flop. The 
on the turn gave Watkins additional outs to make a straight, but nothing materialized as the 
fell on the river.
Watkins will collect $39,790 in tournament winnings for his impressive sixth place finish.
