Watkinson Stacks One

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

Under the gun, Dan Heimiller limped in, and a player in middle position raised to 2,500. Lee Watkinson called in position, Heimiller folded, and it was heads-up to the flop.

The dealer spread out {2-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {10-Hearts}, and the raiser continued out with another 6,500 chips. Watkinson tanked for a while, then plunked the call into the pot. On the turn, the {2-Spades} paired the board, and the bettor slid his last ~5,300 into the middle. This time, Watkinson snap-called, and the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Watkinson: {A-Spades} {2-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}

Mr. Opponent's kings had been run down by Watkinson's deuce, and the latter improved further to a full house as the {Q-Clubs} filled out the board. With that, Watkinson sends one out, moving up to about 46,000 in the process.
