Watson Doubles to Leave Akhundov on Fumes

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

After an early open by Ilya Bulychev and two calls, Murad Akhundov put in 16,000 from the small blind. Bulychev called, as did Mike Watson in the cutoff. The flop came {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, and Akhundov potted all in. Bulychev mucked but Watson quickly called.

Watson: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Akhundov: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Watson had a pile of outs with his flush draw and two pair chances, and the {10-Clubs} got him there with tens up. The river was a harmless {5-Spades}.
