Opponent / /

David Walsh was in a multi-way pot against two other opponents. Facing a 500 chip bet on fifth street, he called after another player also called to go three-ways to sixth.

On sixth, the same opponent lead 500 and the other opponent got out of the way, Walsh made it 1,000 and got the call.

On seventh his opponent lead again, this time for 1,000, Walsh made it 2,000 and his opponent called only to be shown a flush for Walsh to scoop the pot. Walsh is looking to make a deeper run than his only World Series cash, which was in a $1,500 Razz event in 2019.
