Mike Watson Eliminated in 7th Place (€71,000)

Mike Watson opened in the cutoff to 400,000 and Christian Pedersen on the button three-bet to 1,100,000. Action folded back to Watson, who used one time bank card before announcing all in. Pedersen double-checked his cards before making the call, sending the cards on their backs.

Christian Pedersen: K♠K♣ All in
Mike Watson: Q♠Q♣

The board ran out 3♣6♣8♣A♣2♠, giving both players a flush, but Pedersen had the higher one and doubled into the chip lead.

One hand later, Watson raised to 1,400,000 in the hijack, leaving himself around 400,000 behind. Action folded to Zackary Estes in the big blind, who moved all in, and Watson made the call for his tournament life.

Mike Watson: A♠9♦ All in
Zackary Estes: A♥10♥

No help arrived on the board K♣Q♣7♣6♦4♠, and Watson was sent to the rail.
