Pre Dinner Action Sends Watson Packing
Kayhan Mokri lost a bigger portion of his stack while Felipe Ketzer chipped up. He then opened to 8,000 and Joao Vieira three-bet to 26,000. Tom Orpaz four-bet to 60,000 and both opponents folded.
On the same table, Sam Grafton had doubled with 
versus 
when he came from behind on the 
runout.
One more all-in showdown took place in which Mike Watson had flopped top pair with the 
on 
. He was pipped by Chris Brewer and his 
, and the kicker played on the 
turn and 
river.
Last but not least, Ren Lin tangled with Jean-Noel Thorel in a three-bet pot and bet the 
flop for 30,000 out of the small blind, Thorel called on the button. The quick shove by Lin on the turn forced a swift fold.
Watson won't be back after the dinner break after he already exhausted the allowed two entries in the tournament.
