Watson Takes Commanding Lead; Eliminates Two Players
Level 11
: 1,750/3,500, 450 ante
Action began when Yuri Dzivielevski shoved for his 20,071 from early position. Action folded over to Lev "LevMeAlone" Gottlieb, who called from the cutoff. Michael Watson then called from the small blind and Joshua McCully went all-in from the big blind for 49,732. Gottlieb and Watson both called.
Both active players checked the 
flop and 
turn.
Watson bet out 42,000 on the 
river, prompting a fold from Gottlieb. McCurry tabled 
, while Dzivielevski tabled 
. However, neither were good against Watson's 
for top pair with the best kicker.
Watson is currently the tournament chip leader.
