Helge Stjernvang raised to 130,000 from under the gun, and it folded around to Steven Gee who called from the button. Cylus Watson then reraised to 415,000 from the big blind, Stjernvang responded by pushing all in for about 1.07 million, and Gee stepped aside.

Watson: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Stjernvang: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The flop came badly for Stjernvang, the dealer spreading {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} to give Watson two pair. The turn was the {J-Hearts} and river the {Q-Clubs}, and Stjernvang is out.
