Former WPT champion Chis Karagulleyan got things started over on Table 6 by making a standard preflop raise. Action passed to Va Shon Watkins in the small blind. He re-raised to 2,600, with Karagulleyan quickly calling.

Watkins had first action on the ace-high flop, {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

. He checked to Karagulleyan. Karagulleyan called 5,000 and threw a single blue chip across the betting line. Watkins quickly called.

The action shut down from there, with both players checking the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

turn and

{J-Hearts}

river. At showdown, Watkins' pair of aces, {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

, was enough to take the pot.
