Mike Watson Eliminated

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

One player raised to 800 from middle position and Shane Schlager called on the button. Mike Watson moved all in from the small blind for around 5,000. The big blind and initial raiser folded before Schlager called.

Watson: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Schlager: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The flop came {6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and, by the time the {q-Clubs} was dealt on the turn, Schlager was sliding over a stack of yellow chips to his Canadian opponent.

The river was the {4-Spades} and Schlager quickly pulled the stack of chips back. Watson was eliminated with Schlager cracking aces to boost his stack.
