Mike Watson shoved from the small blind for 1,350,000 and Erik Seidel made the call from the big blind with the chip lead.

Mike Watson: A♥A♦
Erik Seidel: Q♠J♠

The flop came 6♠J♥9♠ for Watson to be ahead with the pocket rockets but Seidel picked up the flush draw.

The turn was the 6♥ which didn't change things much but the 2♠ on the river gave Seidel the flush to get the tournament down to the unofficial final table of nine. Watson finished in tenth place for $130,900.

The seat draw is to follow.
