Watson Doubles Through Thorel on Bubble
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded to Ben Heath on the button, who opened to 80,000.
The short-stacked Mike Watson was in the small blind, and he three-bet to 120,000, leaving himself a single 5,000 chip behind.
Jean-Noel Thorel was in the big blind, and he produced a cold four-bet to 275,000. Heath got out of the way and Watson flicked in his last chip to put himself at risk on the bubble.
Mike Watson: 10?10? 
Jean-Noel Thorel: 5?5?
Watson was in great shape for a double up with his pocket tens, and it was confirmed by the 7?Q?7?K?K? runout.
