, but Watson had 
to take the pot.
A few hands later, Watson raised to 2,500 and Juan Pardo raised to 9,000 from the next seat over. Watson called and the flop was 
. Watson checked the flop and Pardo bet 10,000, but Watson fired back a check-raise to 27,000. Pardo gave it a moment of thought before he gave up the pot.
Watson is on the move back towards the starting stack after falling behind early.
