Watson Doubles Through Ruben, Ruben Triples Through Watson and Mercier
Jason Mercier kicked off the action by raising 320,000 from the button. Brad Ruben called from the small blind, but then Mike Watson shoved all in for 3,405,000, with 9x7x4x4x3x.
Mercier immediately folded, but Ruben gave careful consideration, holding 9x6x4x2x2x. After asking Watson for a count, he put in the calling chips.
Ruben discarded one of his deuces, and Watson one of his fours. Watson caught a queen, and Ruben paired the four, decimating his stack and giving Watson the huge double up.
On the next hand, on the button, Ruben stuck his remaining 605,000 into the middle, Watson called from the small blind, and Mercier from the big.
Ruben drew one to KxJx9x5x4x, Watson two to AxJx8x7x2x, and Mercier two to KxQx8x7x5x. Watson paired an eight, Mercier made jack-ten, and Ruben jack-nine, and bounced back with the triple up.
