Walker Off and Running
Level 17
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Steve Auld opened to 7,000 and Nick Walker defended his big blind with 
, absolutely smashing the 
flop.
Walker led for 10,000, Auld ripped it in and Walker made the call for his tournament life with the Broadway straight. Auld was on and the turn gave him outs.
However, the river bricked, and as Walker doubled to the top of the chip counts, Auld was left with a rebuilding project.
