Walker Wakes Up
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
On a heads-up flop of 9djc6c], there were already around 200,000 chips in the middle when Carl Masters bet 80,000.
His opponent, David Walker, then decided to check-raise all in for 325,000 and Masters went deep into the tank.
"Why do you look so nervous? Did you flop a set?" Masters inquired, but got no response from Walker.
After several long minutes, Masters finally decided to make the call to put Walker at risk, who then proudly displayed J?J? for top set of jacks.
"Yeah... Nice hand," Masters sighed as he tapped the table and flipped over Q?Q?. He was then drawing only to a queen or running king-ten for a straight but the runout of 4?K? did not do it and Walker was pushed the pot for a huge double-up.
