Lee Watkinson Doubles Up

After patiently waiting for his spot to double up, Lee Watkinson found it. Action folded around to David Benyamine in the cutoff seat and he raised to 4,100. Watkinson slowly peeked at his cards and then pushed all in for 7,200 total. The blinds folded and Benyamine took his time deciding how many cards, if any, to discard. He eventually tossed out the {7-Spades} face up, opting for just one new card. Watkinson opted for the same. Benyamine got his card first and he quickly looked at it and said "you win." Watkinson rolled over his hand {J-?} {7-?} {6-?} {5-?} {3-?} and Benyamine mucked. Lee Watkinson doubled up to just over 18,000.
