Mike "Sir Watts" Watson have over $7 million in live tournament cashes and a whole host of World Series of Poker cashes, but that WSOP bracelet still remains elusive.
Watson came agonisingly close to winning a bracelet in 2011 when he finished second to Tristan Wade in the €3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout in Cannes. Now he has a great chance to grab some gold in this event because he's currently sat with 310,000 chips with only 44 players remaining.

Brandon Cantu checked from the big blind on a putting the action on Johan Guilbert on the button. Guilbert, who for some unknown reason is sporting two watches on his left wrist, bet 6,000. Cantu responded with a check-raise to 17,000.
Guilbert thought about his next move for over 90-seconds before raising to 36,000. No sooner had Guilbert's chips touched the felt, Cantu moved all-in and Guilbert insta-folded.
