Watt Happened?

The largest pot of the day just occurred over on Table 7, resulting in WSOP Bracelet winner Simon Watt being eliminated from the tournament. Both he and Stephen McKay were involved in a big pre-flop war, that finished with both players committing all their chips. With over 100,000 in the middle, both players tabled their cards.

McKay: {k-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Watt: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Watt was delighted, jumping from the table to tell a nearby player about his hand. However, the board came out {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}{K-Hearts} to crush Watt’s spirits in the matter of seconds. The king on the river sent the local to the rail, and rockets McKay to the overwhelming chip lead with 102,000 in chips.
