Hand #55: King-High for Watt

Simon Watt has the button in Seat 9.

He raises to 125,000, and Tom Dwan makes the call from the small blind.

The flop comes {6-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}, and Dwan taps the table. Watt continues out with another bet of 125,000 that "durrrr" quickly calls, and the turn comes the {3-Spades}. After another Dwan check, Watt bets again, 275,000 this time. Dwan calls again, and the {J-Diamonds} fills out the board. Both players check this time.

Watt shows {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} for king high. And it's good! He wins the pot, drawing a sour look from Dwan.

Hand #54:

David Randall has the button in Seat 8.

Austin McCormick raises to 120,000 from the cutoff and David Randall re-raises to 280,000 on the button. The blinds release and McCormick four-bets all in. Randall quickly calls and the hands are tabled:

Showdown
Randall: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
McCormick: {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

McCormick needs help, and receives a little from the {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} flop.

There is a pause before the turn is dealt, and the {7-Diamonds} was a great sweat for McCormick.

It was not to be though, and the river bricked with the {5-Spades} eliminating McCormick in 4th place. He will collect $194,939 for his efforts.

Hand #53:

Austin McCormick has the button in Seat 5.

Jason Young raises to 105,000 to open the pot under the gun, and McCormick tanks for about a minute before folding his button. David Randall, however, makes an all-in reraise to put Young to the test. He quickly calls all in for 965,000 total, putting himself at risk of elimination.

Showdown
Young: {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Randall: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}

Young stood from his chair to sweat his fate, waving one finger in a circle in midair so that he didn't actually have to verbally say, "One time."

There would be no one time for Young this time.

The board ran {10-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}, and that's no help at all for Young. The last remaining bracelet winner in this event falls just four places short of number two, but he'll take nearly $150,000 as a consolation prize.

Randall is now in command with 4.4 million chips.

Hand #52: Watt Shoves on Dwan

Tom Dwan has the button in Seat 4.

Simon Watt opens to 120,000 from under the gun and Tom "durrrr" Dwan re-raises to 365,000 from the button. Action folds back to Watt who goes deep into the tank.

Finally after about two minutes Watt moves all in. Dwan quickly folds and Watt is shipped the pot increasing his stack to 3,100,000 chips.

Hand #51: Young Three-Bets, Folds

Jason Young has the button in Seat 1.

Simon Watt opens to 125,000 before Young three-bets it up to 305,000 total. When it comes back to Watt, he moves all in with his covering stack, and Young looks confused. He double-checks his hole cards and stares across the dealer at Watt. Finally, he releases his cards relucantly, dropping down around the million-chip mark.

Hand #50: More Chips For Randall

Simon Watt has the button in Seat 9.

David Randall raises to 120,000 from the cutoff and Tom "durrrr" Dwan defends from the big blind.

The {J-Clubs} turns and Dwan checks again. Randall takes the opportunity to bet 215,000 and Dwan folds.

Randall chips up to 3,500,000 chips.
