Soverel Busts Watson, Aldemir Doubles Through Chidwick
Mike Watson shoved his final 130,000 from late position and Sam Soverel called in the big blind with [3d3c].
The chip leader was flipping against Watson’s [KdQh] and the small pair held on the [10c8h7c4d4d] runout.
Watson was eliminated in 13th place and a moment later, Koray Aldemir doubled in a blind vs. blind battle on the other table.
The cards were on their back, with Aldemir holding [Js9s] to Stephen Chidwick’s [AcQc].
The board ran out [9h4s2hJhKc] and Chidwick sent the double to his left.
After that hand, Cary Katz was moved to Table 1 to balance the lineups.
