Walsh On The Rise

Chris Bean

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Aidan Walsh bet 125,000 from early position and was called by David Peters on the button. Armando Mesina in the big blind moved all in for 2,300,000. Walsh under-called for 1,850,000 and Peters folded.

Aidan Walsh: Q♠Q♥
Armando Mesina: 5♦5♣

It was arguably a gutsy play by Mesina that didn't work out as he ran into Walsh's ladies. A clean runout of A♦7♦9♥K♥2♦ secured Walsh the pot and moves him toward the top of the chip standings.

Chris Bean

Alexander Cole-Gardner moved all in from under the gun for 830,000 and was called by Travis Macmillan in the small blind.

Alexander Cole-Gardner: A♥3♣
Travis Macmillan: A♠K♣

Cole-Gardner was in bad shape and the flop of J♣9♥7♣ did not provide any help. But the 3♦ on the turn gave him a pair and the J♠ river secured the double-up for a relieved Cole-Gardner.

James Crowshaw limped from early position, and Australian Clinton Taylor moved all in for 705,000 from the hijack and was called by Rogerio Rabelo in the small blind, which prompted Crowshaw to fold.

Clinton Taylor: 6♦6♠
James Crowshaw: A♣Q♣

Taylor was ahead and it was pretty much over on the flop as Taylor made a boat on the completed board of 8♥8♠6♣2♣Q♦ to secure the double-up.
