Michael Watson, one of Canada’s most decorated poker players, was eliminated in 4th position. The hand started with Geoffrey raising to 450K. Michael Watson had a really good hand, especially in a 4-way game, and placed a huge 3bet. He put in 1.8M out of his 7.1M stack. Geoffrey, after some tanking, announced all-in, covering Mike twofold. After a call, both players went to a showdown, while Joseph Cheong was watching with great interest:
Michael Watson: 
Geoffrey Hum: 
Board: 
Watson goes out in dramatic fashion. After hitting an unlikely non-spade jack to complete a straight, he was sent to the rail by a rivered flush. Great game Michael, and thank you for a great show! Prize: $180,000.
