More chips to stack with those fingers now

A player in early position raised to 1,000 and found callers in Lee Watkinson and the big-blind player. The flop came {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

before the original raiser moved all in for 7,000. Watkinson made the call. The big blind folded.

Watkinson tabled {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

and was way ahead of his opponent's {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

.

Running cards would be needed to beat Watkinson. The turn came {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

and river

{8-Hearts}

. The turn helped but the river was no good. Watkinson up to 18,500 now but his opponent is felted.
