The flop came down giving Vandersmissen a slew of new outs. The turn was the , not affecting Vandersmissen's outs at all. The river was the giving Vandersmissen a pair, but Watson the winning set.

Kochelaevskiy:
With Kochelaevskiy in the lead, the board would see Watson connect on the river to end the Russian's run in 12th place for a $18,407 payday as Watson moves to 525,000 in chips.
Jan Kropacek opened to 12,000 from the button, and as Nacho Barbero was delivered his lunch for the day - All American Dave's Mango Jalapeno Ahi Tuna - he three-bet the small blind to 28,000.
Kropacek would release and Barbero would start to chomp down on his lunch as "Redbull" Robbie Thompson sneaked over and had a look.
On the next hand Kropacek would open to 12,000 again - this time from the cutoff - and again Barbero would three-bet as he made it 29,000 from the button.
Kropacek folded and Thompson stated, "must be the tuna!"
"Giving me energy!" added Barbero before continuing, "or cards!"
