Five-Bet Sees Off Watson; Short Stack Nearly Triples

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Preflop betting escalated quickly as Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez opened in early-mid position for 24,000, raised by Mike "SirWatts" Watson to 64,000. Over to small blind "HITRII999" who promptly moved in for 87,096 total; a reshove for more than Watson had behind (350,000) was enough to get it heads up.

Benitez: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
"HITRII999": {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The board paired "HITRII999"'s queen - {2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, much more than doubling the short stack through.
