Watson Stays Alive
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mike Watson got his final 50,000 into the middle with Jean-Noel Thorel making the call to put him at risk.
Mike Watson: A?Q? 
Jean-Noel Thorel: A?K?
Thorel had Watson dominated until the flop of Q?7?5? moved Watson into the lead with a pair of queens. The rest of the board ran out 5?Q? and Watson secured his double-up with a full house, queens full of fives.
