Walker Wakes Up
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
On a heads-up flop of 9djc6c], there were already around 200,000 chips in the middle when Carl Masters bet 80,000.
His opponent, David Walker, then decided to check-raise all in for 325,000 and Masters went deep into the tank.
"Why do you look so nervous? Did you flop a set?" Masters inquired, but got no response from Walker.
After several long minutes, Masters finally decided to make the call to put Walker at risk, who then proudly displayed J♠J♦ for top set of jacks.
"Yeah... Nice hand," Masters sighed as he tapped the table and flipped over Q♠Q♦. He was then drawing only to a queen or running king-ten for a straight but the runout of 4♠K♣ did not do it and Walker was pushed the pot for a huge double-up.
