Mike Watson

Mike Watson opened the action with a raise to 20,000 from under the gun and John Monnette three-bet to 70,000 in the big blind. Watson moved all in and Monnette asked "can I have a count please?" The shove was determined to be for 249,500 in total and Monnette called.

Monnette stood pat, as did Watson, and the latter announced "I have an eight" before showing {8-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{2-}. Monnette turned over the superior {8-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-} and Watson left the table with a "Jesus Christ" on the lips. The Canadian takes home $19,187, while Monnette became the first player above one million in chips.
