Chris Walker Eliminated in 6th Place ($9,567)

Chris Walker - 6th Place

Another preflop shove and call has led to the demise of Chris Walker, after a battle of the blinds just went down.

Thomas Balla shoved all in from the small blind - putting around 1.2 million in the middle - and Chris Walker quickly called off the last of his stack with {a-Spades}{5-Spades}.

Balla was behind with his {j-Spades}{7-Clubs} - the hand he calls "George Robinson" - but the flop paired his live cards when the dealer fanned {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. The turn ({9-Clubs}) and river ({7-Spades}) failed to deliver Walker a tournament-saving ace, and he hit the rail with a 6th place finish.
