Back to 90-Minute Levels

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

The tournament staff has adjusted the duration of the levels again, putting them back to 90 minutes. This will continue until they feel that the levels need to be reduced in order to finish in an adequate time period. With only one elimination taking place over the last three hours of play, it could mean a long day for the players.

Big Blind Special for Watson

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Samy Boujmala limped in from the small blind with K?4? and Mike Watson checked his option holding 5?3?. The flop fell Q?4?2? and Boujmala check-called a bet of 350,000 from Watson.

The turn brought the 6? and Boujmala checked again. Watson counted out a bet of 600,000 after completing his straight and Boujmala was able to let his pair of fours go into the muck.
