Walking The Walk

Keith Walker has the chips and the confidence needed to make something happen after knocking out Gary Benson, and he just added some more to his stack.

Walker raised to 70,000 from the small blind, and Wayne Bentley called from the big. The flop came down {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} and Walker fired out 75,000. Bentley called.

On the turn, the {4-Diamonds}, Walker bet 75,000 and Bentley called again. The river was the {Q-Hearts} and for a third time Walker bet 75,000. Bentley looked frustrated, as the price for him was probably very good. He called and Walker turned over {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Bentley flipped up his {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds} as he threw them into the muck.

Walker is now over two million, and closing in on the chip lead.

Bentley Loses One Prior to the Break

Sam Razavi was under the gun when he opened the pot to 65,000. Wayne Bentley called out of the small blind and the dealer flipped over a {10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop. Bentley led for 75,000 here and Razavi made the call. Both players opted to check the {9-Spades} turn and it was on to the {k-Clubs} river. Bentley opted to lead again here, firing out 150,000. Razavi made the call and said, "I was calling you down with king-high i swear," as he turned over {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Bentley's {k-Spades}{4-Spades} went into the muck and Razavi picked up the pot.

Sam Takes One From Keith

Sam Razavi was on the button when he opened the pot to 90,000. Keith Walker opted to come along for the ride in the small blind as the dealer flipped over {k-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop. Razavi went with a check-call here when Walker bet 60,000. It was the same thing again on the {10-Clubs} turn, and the {a-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

This time when Razavi checked, Walker would again bet 60,000, but Razavi would check-raise to 400,000. Walker thought long and hard before letting his hand go, sending the pot to Razavi.

Bentley Doubles Through Grigg

Wayne Bentley has just managed to double up through Tom Grigg. It all started with Bentley opening the button to 90,000. Grigg called out of the small blind and a {8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop was dealt on the felt. Grigg went with a check here and Bentley flicked out 150,000. Grigg moved all in and Bentley decided to call for around 700,000.

Bentley was in good shape, holding {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, while Grigg would need help holding {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The turn ({3-Diamonds}) and the river ({5-Diamonds}) were safe for Bentley and he raked in the double up.
