Watkinson's Day Goes From Bad To Worse

Lee Watkinson fired out on the flop and moved all in on the turn when the board read {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. His opponent made the call and tabled {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for trips against Watkinson's {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. The {Q-Clubs} on the river gave his opponent the flush to leave Watkinson on life support with about 400 chips.

Things then got worse for Watkinson as the empty chair to his direct right was filled by none other than Full Tilt pro John Juanda.
