Lee Watkinson Wins a Monster Pot

After a middle-position player raised to 600, Lee Watkinson and the big blind called and they saw a flop of {K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. The player first to act bet 600, and Watkinson, holding {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, called a 1,000 bet with his straight flush draw.

After the big blind folded the {J-Clubs} turned and this time Watkinson called a 2,000 bet. The {A-Hearts} hit on the river and after another 2,000 bet Watkinson raised to 6K. The other player moved in and Watkinson took some time to think things through before making the call. His opponent had flopped a set of Kings but the heart on the river gave Watkinson the flush and the pot. He's now sitting with a 41,000 stack.
