Watson Doubles in Battle of Canadians
Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
In a hand at the previous level, Sam Greenwood check-called 16,000 in a battle of the blinds with the board reading 
. He then checked the 
river and Mike Watson put about 50,000 in, leaving himself just over 1,000 back. Greenwood called, and Watson showed the 
for the big blind special two pair and took the pot.
Last year's PCA Main Event champ had a short run trying to repeat here, but he trying to take the first $25,000 High Roller of the PokerStars Championship Bahamas instead.
