Walther Doubles Through Watt

Jens Walther has doubled up at the expense of Simon Watt. It was a classic preflop race, but Walther had to get there the hard way.

Walther opened to 35,000 from early position before play folded to Watt in the small blind who raise it to 126,000. Richard Lancaster folded his big blind before Walther declared himself all in. Watt made the call.

Watt: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Walther: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

As Lancaster commented that he folded a king, Watt gave a fist pump of delight at seeing the {5-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop. However the turn was the {7-Diamonds} to give Walther additional outs with a flush draw. The river delivered the {A-Diamonds} and Watt was disgusted as Walther wins a huge flip and doubles to 500,000. Watt is left with 385,000.
