Aaron Van Blarcum raised to 37,000 from the button and Mike Watson defended his big blind.
The flop landed [8h8cAc] and both players checked to reveal the [5c] on the turn. Watson checked, and Van Blarcum bet 64,000. Watson moved all in for 137,000 and Van Blarcum called.
Van Blarcum: [AsKc]
Watson: [Qc6c]
Watson had to fade any club, ace, or eight, and when the [Ah] completed the board on the river, he was eliminated in sixth place.
