Steve Watts Eliminated in 15th Place (€5,600)

It was mere moments ago that Watts was explaining to us that he was in the ‘coffin’ with Sotirios Koutoupas having a ‘heater’ on his right, and Sam Trickett on his direct left. Well it seems that ‘heater’ continues as Koutoupas has just eliminated Watts in the most unfortunate of circumstances.

We didn’t see the hand but our Italian colleagues told that us Koutoupas opened the action and then called a shove from Watts. 

Showdown

Watts: [Kh] [Kd]
Koutoupas: [Ks] [Jh]

So Watts was a 91% favorite to win the hand and then this happened.

Board: [Jc] [Jd] [6s] [8c] [8d]

Two more Jacks on the flop sends a stunned Watts to the rail.

Koutoupas ~ 600,000
