Diane Walker raised to 450,000 and Nic Ioannoy moved all-in out of the big blind for 2,790,000, which Walker asked the count upon. Once the exact count was given, Walker mulled it over and tossed her time bank extensions out in front.
"I don't think I can fold this hand," she said and she did not.
Nic Ioannoy: A♥5♦ 
Diane Walker: Q♠Q♥
The A♠3♦2♥2♠9♦ board improved Ioannoy to the top spot while Walker was left with only five big blinds.
