Watson Moves into Second

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

Enrico Camosci shoved from the cutoff with a stack that covered all of the remaining players. Mike Watson thought it about it for a few moments in the small blind before he eventually called for his 1,925,000. After the big blind folded, the cards were revealed.

Mike Watson: A♠J♦ All in
Enrico Camosci: 7♦6♣

Camosci would eliminate the two-time European Poker Tour champion if he could somehow find a way to win. However, the runout of 7♥4♥9♣A♣2♠ gave Watson the winner with two pair, aces and nines. Watson moved up to second in the chip counts, with Camosci still at the top.
