Mamouni Comes From Behind to Bust Watson
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Mohamed Mamouni raised to 1,100 under the gun and received three callers before Mike Watson moved all in for 12,500 in the small blind. Mamouni reshoved and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Mike Watson: A♣K♣ 
Mohamed Mamouni: K♠J♠
Watson had Mamouni dominated and was poised for a double up as the flop came Q♠7♦7♠, giving Mamouni a flush draw. The turn was the 10♠ and Mamouni completed his flush to leave Watson drawing dead by the K♥ river, sending the two-time EPT champion to the rail.
Simon Wiciak was also eliminated shortly after coming back from break and will need to rely on his second bullet in hopes of defending his title.
