Big Double for Walker

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Nick Walker
Nick Walker

We caught the tail end of a huge double-up for Nick Walker. Fortunately, Walker was kind enough to fill us in with the details.

Walker opened to 2,500 and received one caller before another player three-bet to 5,800. Action folded back to Walker, who four-bet to 14,400. That induced a fold from the player to his left, but the other player shoved for about 60,000 effective. Walker called and tabled the {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, which was well in front of {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

The {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop added some straight outs to his opponent's hand, but Walker held up through the {8-Hearts} turn and {3-Diamonds} river. He's now among the leaders with 133,000.
