Watts Turns Off Yuan's Lights

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A large pot was brewing betwen Steven Watts and Ye Yuan. Around 45,000 was in the pot as the river card was dealt.

The full board showed {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Yuan was sitting with just under 20,000 in his stack, Watts had him covered. After thinking over the situation, Watts bet 20,000 from the button, enough to put Yuan all in.

At risk for his tournament life, Yuan thought for about three minutes. He landed on a call and saw the bad news.

Watts had the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} while Yuan had {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. Top pair, top kicker was beaten by a set and Yuan's day was over, meanwhile Watts eclipsed the six-digit mark.
