Bad Start for Walsh

Daniel Walsh was on the losing end of the first hand dealt at the final table. Jean Gaspard made a straight with {K-?} {10-?} against Walsh's aces to take about 100,000 off of Walsh.

A few hands later, Walsh called a preflop raise from Ken Christopher. Christopher was in the cutoff and Walsh on the button.

The flop came {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} and Christopher bet 25,000. Walsh elected to make a raise to 100,000 and Christopher called.

The turn brought the {5-Spades} and a check from both players.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Christopher led for 75,000. Walsh took his time and then made the fold. Christopher showed him the nut flush with the {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}.
