Mike Watson Eliminated in 5th Place (€124,000)
Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Niklas Astedt raised to 125,000 on the button, Mike Watson shoved all in for around 200,000 in the small blind, and Astedt called.
Mike Watson: A?8?
Niklas Astedt: A?6?
Watson had Astedt dominated as the 5?2?2? flop left open the possibility of a chop. Astedt, though, hit the 6? on the turn to make two pair and the river came the 3? to send Watson to the rail in fifth place.
"This guy," Watson sighed as he prepared to make the long walk out of the room.
