With the final board showing Qc9d5dKs3c, Chad Eveslage bet 150,000 from the small blind, and William Watson raised from the big blind to 525,000.

Eveslage tanked for a while before he called, and Watson turned over KhQs for two pair, kings and queens. Eveslage mucked, and Watson won the pot to give him the clear chip lead with nearly four million in chips.

William Watson  –  3,890,000  (78 bb)
Chad Eveslage  –  2,140,000  (43 bb)

With five players remaining, the average chip stack is about 2.2 million (44 big blinds), and they are all guaranteed at least $28,005 each.
