Angry Fold for Watkins

In a four-way limped pot, the flop came down {10-Spades} {7-Spades} {3-Hearts}. Jeff Banghart was first to act and checked to Va Shon "Julian Verse" Watkins. Watkins bet 1,600 before Lee Adams called from middle position. Harold Kruger was in the cutoff seat and folded before Banghart called as well.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and Banghart checked again. Watkins fired out 3,300 this time. Adams called and then Banghart raised to 10,000. Watkins took a moment before making the call. Adams took a few moments more, but folded.

The river came the {2-Hearts} and Banghart announced he was all in, putting Watkins at risk for his last 24,800. This move sent Watkins into the tank for a good few minutes. After asking the dealer to spread the pot, Watkins attempted to call the clock on himself, but the floor wouldn't allow it. Jeff Elseman helped Watkins out and called the clock for him. After about 30 more seconds, Watkins emphatically stood up and stormed away from his table while flipping up the {10-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} for top two pair. "God dammit!" he yelled as his iPod crashed to the floor.

Watkins took a few moments to himself before returning to the table and placing the ante in the pot for the next hand. Banghart is the new chip leader with around 120,000 chips.
