Maclean Springs the Trap

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Peter Walsworth opened in early position to 55,000, and only Mark Maclean, on the button, called.

Walsworth continued with a bet of 60,000 on the 3K8 flop, which Maclean called.

The turn 7 did nothing to slow Walsworth down, who bet again, this time 175,000. Again, Maclean called.

Walsworth's aggression was unrelenting on the Q river as he bet again, sliding out 300,000 this time.

Maclean took a moment before announcing he was all in for 470,000. Walsworth ceded, returning his cards to the dealer face down as Maclean scooped in a huge pot.
