Walsworth Has a Date With an Eight to Double
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Michael Stashin made it 1,000,000 from early position and Peter Walsworth jammed for 4,075,000 from the cutoff. Kevin Schulz moved in over the top from the small blind with the covering stack, which forced Stashin out.
Peter Walsworth: A♥8♥ 
Kevin Schulz: A♣K♦
Schulz's Big Slick dominated Walsworth, but the 3♦Q♦5♣8♣7♠ runout gave Walsworth the best hand with a pair of eights on the turn, and he doubled up at the expense of Schulz.
