Walsh Comes Out Firing
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sergiu Covrig opened to 27,000 from under the gun, which both Gerard Walsh and Adam Nattress called in the small and big blind, respectively.
The dealer burned and turned a A♣2♣Q♥ flop, and Walsh didn't hang around. Taking over the betting lead, he flicked 20,000 into the middle. Nattress folded, but Covrig called.
The flush-completing 4♣ joined the board, and Walsh stuck with the same strategy, putting another bet of 20,000 into the middle. Covrig tapped the table in appreciation of the play and returned his cards to the dealer.
Walsh flipped over the A♦, showing the table he had a pair.
