Watson Ships Some to Yu

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Mike Watson has been flying under the reporters' radar today, but he's now one of the biggest stacks in the tournament. Watson conceded some of his chips a few moments ago, but the Canadian poker superstar is still grinding a more than healthy stack worth 317,500.

Watson lost a few of his possessions in a contest against Ben Yu. Watson raised from the first position and Yu countered, three-betting from the big blind. Watson called and they both drew one on the first draw.

Yu continued betting, and Watson stuck around. Yu then patted while Watson continued drawing one.

Yu bet out again, and Watson called to draw for one again. The remaining round went check-check. Yu exposed his {9-}{8-}{7-}{5-}{3-} and Watson couldn't beat the nine.
