Watson Doubles and Leaves Chidwick on Fumes
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mike Watson raised all in from early position for his stack of 215,000. It then folded to the small blind Stephen Chidwick, who three-bet all in for his stack of 250,000. Once the big blind folded, it was the two players heads up, with Watson at risk.
Mike Watson: 3♥3♦ 
Stephen Chidwick: 2♦2♣
Watson found himself in a great spot to double up having the bigger pocket pair. The board ran out K♠8♠6♣10♥A♦ and the pocket threes of Watson were still best, giving him the double up.
Chidwick was left with just 35,000 chips after the hand, and was eliminated shortly after.
