Watkins Busts a Player

Board: {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Scott Watkins raises to 3,800 before the flop in late position and is called by the player in the cutoff. They check the flop, then on the turn Watkins bets 8,000. The cutoff raises to 18,000 and Watkins goes all in. The cutoff calls and turns over 7-7 for the boat, while Watkins has A-9 for top two pair. The river pairs the board and gives Watkins a better full house, busting his opponent and bringing him to 124,000.
