Watson Loses With Queens
Level 3
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
David Peters opened for 4,300 from the hijack and saw Jean-Noel Thorel (cutoff) and Oleh Okhotski (button) both make the call. Mike Watson in the small blind squeezed to 18,000 and Thorel was the only one calling.
The flop came 
and Watson calmly checked the table. Thorel bet 25,200 and Watson slid 185,000 forward to put Thorel all in. The Frenchman gave it some thoughts before announcing all in while moving all of his chips forward. It was an all in call in the end as the dealer counted out he "only" had 85,500.
Mike Watson: 
Jean-Noel Thorel: 
The 
on the turn sealed the deal for Thorel and the 
on the river was there just for good measures. Double up for Thorel!
