Mike Watson Eliminated in 11th Place ($64,448)
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mike Watson opened from under the gun and Sam Soverel defended from the big blind.
The flop came 4♣J♥5♦ and Soverel check-called a 110,000 bet from Watson.
Soverel checked again on the 6x turn and Watson bet 130,000. Soverel shoved with a covering stack and Watson called, putting himself at risk.
Mike Watson: A♠A♥
Sam Soverel: 6♥4♣
Soverel had turned two pair to crack Watson's aces. The 8♦ river changed nothing for either player and Watson was eliminated in brutal fashion while Soverel recouped most of the chips he had lost during the previous level.
