You Wat?

Down but not out
Down but not out
Last years eighth-place finisher, Lee Watkinson, has lost over half his stack already. He called a raise to 300 whilst on the button from a player in middle position.

On the {6-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} Watkinson bet 1,500 once it was checked to him. He bet 3,000 when it was checked to him again on the {J-Diamonds} turn. He was called again before the {4-Spades} dropped on the river.

This time he bet 5,000 when it was checked to him and he was called once more. He flipped over {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} for a baby flush, but it was no good against his opponent's nut flush with {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}.

Watkinson down to 9,800.
