Level 45 : 400,000/800,000, 85,000 ante

Michael Watson opened the button for 1.6 million before he called off his stack of around 9 million after Eelis Parssinen jammed the big blind.

Michael Watson: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Eelis Parssinen: {7-Spades}{7-Spades}

It was looking like showers for Watson after he failed to connect with the {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop nor with the {6-Clubs} turned.

The {a-Hearts} came raining down on the river to pair up Watson to give him a double up. Watson took the lead after the hand.

Watson Takes the Lead

Level 44 : 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

David Yan began the day with the chip lead but just hit the rail in fifth place for $341,187. Watson, effectively earned his fifth double-up in the process.

David Yan: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Michael Watson: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Watson paired up both his cards to improve to two pair on the {j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades} board and his good run continues.
