From the cut-off Mike Watson raised to 6,000 and Dan Kelly opted to call from the big blind. The flop brought out and both players checked.
The turn was the and Kelly lead out for 11,000. Watson gathered some chips and pushed a raise to 25,000 forward. Kelly announced he was all-in and Watson sighed as he made the call for his tournament life.
Kelly turned over for a flopped flush and Watson threw his cards face down towards the muck. The dealer turned over his and he was, as we expected, already drawing dead. The turn card was perfect for Kelly who got all Watson's chips when the river, the , completed the board.
Watson shook everyones hand before leaving and we are now down to just four players.

Mike Watson was all in preflop holding and up against the of Dan Kelly. While he was ahead preflop, the flop delivered a blow to Watson as Kelly paired his jack. The turn gave Watson a little help, but he would need another eight or a king on the river to survive.
