Another move up the chip leaderboard – this time for Steve Watts who moved in under the gun for his remaining 567k. Pass to Thomas Beer who raised all-in to isolate the short stack with his Ad-Kd. This was effective; they were off to the races. The deck ended up giving Watts a Jack-high straight: 7d-Jh-Ts-2h-9c and a bump over the million chip mark.
Chips after that one:
Thomas Beer – 3,835,000
Ian Simpson – 2,133,000
Kevin Vandersmissen – 1,556,000
Dixie Dean – 1,307,000
Steve Watts – 1,199,000
