Down but not out

Last years eighth-place finisher, Lee Watkinson, has lost over half his stack already. He called a raise to 300 whilst on the button from a player in middle position.

On the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

Watkinson bet 1,500 once it was checked to him. He bet 3,000 when it was checked to him again on the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

turn. He was called again before the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

dropped on the river.

This time he bet 5,000 when it was checked to him and he was called once more. He flipped over {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

for a baby flush, but it was no good against his opponent's nut flush with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

.

Watkinson down to 9,800.
