Big O

Jorge Walker raised pre-flop, Charles Bransford potted to 875,000, Walker shoved all in for 1,100,000, and Bransford quickly called.

Charles Bransford: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Jorge Walker: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

"Low cards, one time," Bransford announced, hoping for his aces to hold. He remained in the lead through the turn on a board of {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, but Walker spiked the {6-Hearts} on the river to hit a flush and the same low.

The stacks were counted down and Walker took 550,000 from Bransford.
