Kings Hold for Negreanu; Watson Eliminated

After doubling Sorel Mizzi, Daniel Negreanu got right back in the saddle after raising from the hijack. From there, Mike Watson reraised to 16,000 from the button, Martins Adeniya made it 55,400 from the big blind, and Negreanu moved all in for 94,900. Watson called off for 27,000 and Adeniya made the call.

Watson: {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Negreanu: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Adeniya: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

Negreanu was ahead with the best hand while Watson was in need of some major help. The {3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop was fairly uneventful, and the {3-Spades} turn left Watson drawing dead. Adeniya could still win the pot with the case queen on the river, but it was not mean to be as the {A-Clubs} peeled off.

Watson was eliminated while Negreanu chipped up in a big way.
