Maximum Pressure from Walker
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action started with a limp from Tolga Demirel in early position. Cornelius Walker, in middle position, put in a raise to 10,000, which Demirel called.
The dealer spread a 9♣J♦J♣ flop, and Demirel check-called a bet of 17,000.
Both players then checked on the 7♥ turn, and the dealer provided them with the A♥ river.
Demirel checked for a third time, and Walker responded by sliding in seven T-25,000 chips for a bet of 175,000.
The bet was for more than Demirel had in his stack, so he was deciding for his tournament life. After a couple of minutes, he decided just to let his hand go, surrendering the pot to Walker.
