Mike Watson Eliminated in 16th Place ($105,370)

Level 19
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mike Watson raised to 480,000 under the gun, leaving himself with just 5,000 behind, and Tom Fuchs called on the button.
The flop came Q?7?9? and Watson flicked in his last chip to put himself at risk. Fuchs made the call.
Mike Watson: A?K?
Tom Fuchs: 5?5?
Fuch's pair of fives were in the lead but Watson picked up additional outs on the 8? turn with the nut flush draw.
The 7? rolled off on the river, and Watson's tournament run came to an end.
