Lee Watkinson Eliminated in 21st Place ($12,623)

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Lee Watkinson - 21st place
Lee Watkinson - 21st place

Anders Taylor opened to 16,000 from middle position, and Lee Watkinson three-bet to 52,000. He only had 76,000 to start the hand, and Taylor put him all in with a chance at the knockout.

Showdown
Taylor: {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Watkinson: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The {5-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {8-Hearts} flop brought the nuts for Taylor, starting right off with an eight-high straight. Watkinson had made his low, but Taylor was getting greedy, calling for a "three!" to counterfeit his opponent. The turn {5-Diamonds} was not much change, but it did give Watkinson a few scoop outs to work with. The river {3-Spades} was a disaster, though, and Taylor's wish was thusly granted. Watkinson's hand was invalid after the last card, and he has been sent off in 21st place.
