Laak's Revenge

Earlier in the day Lee Watkinson doubled up through Phil Laak when he spiked a jack on the river. The jacks weren't kind to Watkinson on this hand as the two players got all the chips in with the board reading {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Watkinson held {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}, while Laak had {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} for trips. The river was a brick and that sent Watkinson to the rail. With that win Laak now has 42,000.
