Hands #53-57: Walton Chips Up in Showdown
Hand #53: Adam Walton raised to 3,200,000 in the hijack with 10♠10♦, collecting the blinds and big blind ante.
Hand #54: Ruslan Prydryk opened to 3,200,000 in the cutoff with 7♠6♠ and Daniel Weinman three-bet to 10,500,000 in the small blind with the A♥Q♣. It folded back to Prydryk, who gave it some thought and folded.
Hand #55: Weinman raised to 3,200,000 on the button with K♥8♠ and chip leader Steven Jones defended the big blind with the Q♣2♠ to a flop of 5♦5♠4♠. Following a check by Jones, Weinman bet just 1,800,000 and won the pot.
Hand #56: Jones raised to 4,100,000 in the small blind with A♠10♠ and Adam Walton called in the big blind with J♠6♣. The 7♦3♦2♠ flop brought a bet worth 3,500,000 by Jones and it ended the hand right there.
Hand #57: Walton limped the small blind holding the Q♠9♠ and Prydryk checked the 7♠2♦ in the big blind to the K♥9♦5♦ flop. Walton check-called for 2,000,000 and did so again for 4,500,000 on the 4♥ turn. Both checked the 4♦ river and Walton won the pot with the Q♠9♠.
