Lee Watkinson Busts Out of 2007 WSOP

The biggest career winner to appear at the final table of this year's 2007 WSOP, Lee Watkinson, has left the building.  Watkinson busted out of the 2007 WSOP after just two hours of play, leaving only 7 men standing.

Watkinson will have amassed just over $2 mil in lifetime winnings following his exit from the 2007 WSOP (World Series of Poker).

Earlier, fellow pro, Philip Hilm, was the first to bust out.  Both were favorites to win the 2007 World Series of Poker heading into Tuesday's final show down.  Tuan Lam was the only other favorite (at 7 to 2 odds) still at the final table.

A newcomer to the poker circuit, Jerry Yang, had pulled away from the pack with just over 55 million chips.  That was more than double the next biggest chip leader, Lam.

Lee Watkinson takes home a sweet $585,699.
