Walter's Soldiers Carry the Day

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

George Walter bet 7,000 from early position on a A69 flop and Stephen Hornacek came along.

When the Q came on the turn, Walter asked for a pot calculation, and then deliberately placed all 37,200 of his remaining soldiers in regimented lines in front of him. Hornacek took a moment to consider, gave his chips a kiss for luck, and made the call.

George Walter: AQ443
Stephen Hornacek: K8753

Walter led with two pair and a better low draw and the 9 river secured him the double.
