Watson's Comeback Falls Short; "Timex" Advances

Roommates Michael "Timex" McDonald and Michael Watson just finished up the last (and longest) match of the day, and it was "Timex" who emerged victorious, locking up the final spot in the quarter-finals of the Flight 1 bracket.

Watson put up a good fight - at one point down to a single 500 chip and coming back to as much as 4,200 - but McDonald remained selectively aggressive, while making all the right folds.

Once Watson built his stack up to 2,000 from 500, Timex remarked, "This is gonna be a sick comeback." "We probably wouldn't be able to be roommates anymore if I came back from this," Watson replied.

McDonald was able to dodge a couple of bullets during Watson's attempted comeback. Watson had built back up to 3,300 in chips and picked up a pocket pair of kings. He shoved from the button but McDonald laid it down. Just two hands later, Watson shoved from the button again, but McDonald had a mere {2-Clubs}

and folded; this time Watson tabled Big Slick and the roommates had a good laugh over the situation.

The last hand saw Watson shove his last 3,300 into the middle from the button and McDonald insta-called.

McDonald: {6-Diamonds}
