Lee Watkinson Doubles

Lee Watkinson had been battling with a short stack but has just found a handy double-up. The player in the cutoff opened with a raise to 800 before Watkinson came over the top for all of his 1,875 in chips. His opponent made the call and tabled {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} but trailed the {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} of Watkinson.

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Watkinson's ace-high was good to move to about 4,200.
