Walker Put to the Test and Passes

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

A massive pot just went down in the last hand before the break.

With around 125,000 in the pot and a flop of {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, Nicholas Walker led out for 65,000 from the under-the-gun position and Louis Aquilina popped it to 140,000. Walker responded by three-betting to 395,000, and Aquilina four-bet all in.

Walker sighed and hit the tank. He agonized over the spot and eventually asked, "You flopped a set, didn't you?"

Aquilina didn't respond.

"If you didn't I think I'm ahead," Walker added. Eventually he called off and suddenly there were 2 million in chips at stake.

Aquilina: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Walker: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

"Good call," Aquilina complimented. Walker clapped his hands together in excitement. It was clearly a defining moment for the young pro. What's more, he was rewarded for the tough call when the {5-Diamonds} safely landed on the turn followed by the {5-Hearts} river.
