Watson Eliminated After an Early Double
Level 11
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Mike Watson found an early double-up against Teun Mulder and then raised to 10,000 in the cutoff. Mulder called on the button and Mateos stuck in a three-bet from the big blind. Watson four-bet shoved all in for around 200,000 which got Mulder to fold but Mateos quickly called.
Mike Watson: 
Adrian Mateos: 
The flop came 
and Mateos picked up a pair of kings to take a big lead. The 
on the turn and the 
on the river secured the knockout for Mateos.
"Running good," he said to Mulder. "It's fun when you're running good."
