Watson Takes the Lead
Level 45
: 400,000/800,000, 85,000 ante
Eelis Parssinen opened the button for 1.6 million before he folded to a three-bet by Watson to 4.8 million.
This was good enough to give Watson the chip lead for the first time at the final table. Don't forget, he had under two big blinds at one point before doubling up five times at the final table.
