Watson and Adams Bust Before Break; Play Resumes in 20 Minutes

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mike Watson

Mike Watson opened to 7,000 from the cutoff before Steve O'Dwyer reraised to 25,000 from the button. Mikita Badziakouski then made it 58,000 to go from the big blind. After using up his last time chip, Watson five-bet jammed for 206,000, which prompted O'Dwyer to move all in as the covering stack.

Badziakouski peeked at his cards once more and decided to fold.

Mike Watson: 1010
Steve O'Dwyer: QQ

Watson was in trouble and drawing to two immediate outs. No help arrived on the K94K4 runout and Watson was eliminated.

Badziakouski chatted with Orpen Kisacikoglu as the hand played out and he informed his table neighbour that he folded pocket jacks.

After the hand, the players were sent on their final 20-minute break of the day. However, Timothy Adams will not be returning to a stack as he was also eliminated just before the break began.
