Lee Watkinson - 2nd Place

We finally have a winner. After a series of hands in which all the chips went in the middle, Brandon Cantu eliminated Lee Watkinson. On the final hand, Cantu raised his button to 150,000 and Watkinson called. The rest of the chips went in on a flop of {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

. Cantu showed {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

, a pair of fours with a club draw. Watkinson showed a huge draw, {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

. Any non-board-pairing low card would have been a great card for Watkinson. Instead the turn fell {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

and the river fell {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

to make trip fours for Cantu and finally send Watkinson to the rail.

Watkinson walks away with $141,873.
