Watkinson Lets One Go

Lee Watkinson

Lee Watkinson raised from early position to 3,500 and found himself three callers.

The flop landed {K-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Spades} and play folded to a player in late position, who fired 7,000. Watkinson was the lone caller. The turn was the {9-Spades} and Watkinson checked to his opponent, who this time fired 13,000 into the middle.

Watkinson decided to release and after the hand slips to 67,000. Watkinson knows what it's like to reach a WSOP Main Event final table, finishing in 8th place in 2007. He's got some work ahead of him if he's to repeat that feat again this year.
