Cylus Watson Eliminated in 22nd Place ($294,601)

Cylus Watson - 22nd Place
Cylus Watson - 22nd Place

A short-stacked Cylus Watson moved all in preflop for 920,000 and received a call from Greg Merson.

Showdown
Watson: {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Merson: {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Watson got it all in with the best hand, but oftentimes that's not enough. Unfortunately for Watson, that'd be the case in this hand as the {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop delivered Merson a pair of tens and the lead. Neither the {Q-Hearts} turn nor {2-Diamonds} river would help Watson, and he shook hands with the table before taking his leave in 22nd place.
