Chris Walker just sent a player to the rail in 20th place courtesy of an incredible re-suck to spike a set.

The action began when a player opened for 90,000 from the cutoff, with Sam Datta and his humongous stack flatting from the button. That's when Walker three-bet jammed for his last 360,000, sending the cutoff into a minute or two of tanking. Ultimately, that player called the big reraise, leaving himself 250,000 behind, and although Datta appeared willing and ready to make the overcall, he reluctantly laid his hand down.

Walker tabled {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} to find his cowboys crushing the cutoff's {J-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, but in a flash the dealer fanned a flop of {7-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs} across the felt. The sight of a set for his opponent shot Walker out of his chair, and he prepared to make an ignominious exit from the scene, but just as quickly the {k-Hearts} fell in on the turn. Walker sat back down when he made his own set, and after the river produced the {7-Clubs}, he completed a roller coaster ride of a hand with the winner.
