Watson's Quick Slide Ends in 29th

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Mike Watson began the day second in chips, but after losing a big all-in hand with {A-}{A-}{x-}{x-} to Tom Marchese's {K-}{K-}{x-}{x-} his stack was more than cut in half.

It wasn't too much longer after that when Watson found himself with kings — {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{3-Spades}, to be precise — and putting the last of his stack in following a {2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop against Joseph Cheong. Unfortunately for Watson, Cheong had flopped a set of nines with {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and after the {2-Spades} turn and {A-Diamonds} river, Watson was out in 29th.

By contrast, Cheong has had a much better time of it on Day 3 so far. He started the day with one of the shorter stacks but is now suddenly up near the leaders.
