Watson Wins Without Showdown
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 750 ante
Andras Nemeth recently doubled through Darren Elias and Mike Watson remained the clear chip leader at their table.
The Canadian took on Elias in a smaller pot when he bet the 
flop for 12,500 and earned a call. The 
turn was checked and Watson check-raised the 
river from 25,200 to 139,600. No call by Elias followed as Watson pulled back over half a million in chips.
