Watkinson Doubles Through Phan

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Lee Watkinson moved all in a few times without being called over the past hour. He then had to forfeit his blinds to remain among the shortest stacks and just moved all in from the dead button. John Phan in the small blind asked for a count and called once it was deemed to be 215,000.

Watkinson: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Phan: {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop provided a sweat, but Watkinson remained in the lead thanks to the {9-Spades} turn and {6-Spades} river. The kicker played and Watkinson doubled to remain in contention.
