Watson Stays Alive

Level 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mike Watson shoved from the button for 50,000 with Morten Klein making the call from the small blind to put him at risk.
Mike Watson: K?J?
Morten Klein: A?8?
Watson needed some help to stay alive. The flop of 5?J?7? gave Watson top pair, putting him in the lead. The rest of the board ran out 3?4? and and Watson doubled up with a pair of jacks.
