Watson's Set is No Good

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau opened to 12,000 from early position and Isaac Haxton called directly to his left. Mike Watson was in the big blind and shoved all in for 121,000. Vaskaboinikau called while Haxton folded.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Mike Watson: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} giving Watson a set of jacks but Vaskaboinikau flopped a straight. Watson would need the board to pair to stay alive but the {a-Hearts} on the turn and the {6-Diamonds} on the river bricked out.
