When the action came back to Walker he check-raised all in for 12,300. Miles counted his remaining stack and then moved all-in for slightly more — 18,200.

Walker showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and was ahead of the {q-}{10-} of Miles.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and the river was the {5-Clubs}.
