Nguyen Sends Walters Packing
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Nicholas Seward limped from the cutoff as did Thanhlong Nguyen on the button. Christopher Walters made up from the small blind and Philip Stark checked his option.
The flop came 10♠8♦7♠ and Walters bet pot for 250,000. Stark and Seward folded and Nguyen made the call.
On the 4♣ turn Walters checked to Nguyen, who fired out for the pot, which was enough to put Walters all in. Walters thought for a short while and made the call.
Christopher Walters: K♥9♣8♥8♠
Thanhlong Nguyen: 10♣10♦9♦2♣
Walters was in one of the worst situations possible, flopping set over set, but he did have straight outs to stay alive. No help on the A♦ river and Walters was sent to the rail.
