Watson Finds This Game Elementary

Level 8 : 400/800, 200 ante

Mike Watson was all in for 13,550 before the draw, and Carlos reraised, isolating himself against the at-risk "SirWatts" with a chance at the knockout.

Both players took one card, and Watson showed {6-} {5-} {3-} {2-} ... {A-}. Not a good draw. Fortunately, Mortensen's was even worse as he showed {7-} {6-} {5-} {2-} ... {5-}. An ace beats a pair of fives, and Watson has doubled back to his starting stack. It knocks Mortensen down to about 19,000 in the process.
