Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Nick Walker got over 100,000 the hard way.
He won a 35,000-chip pot when he woke up with pocket kings and four limpers in front of him. Walker raised and one limper spazzed off 15,000 with the 
. A number of medium sized pots later he defended his blind against a James Miller raise, turning a flush with the 
and getting paid.

preflop and got a call. The caller checked the 
flop, but check-raised all in after Spears made it 9,000. Spears called it off and was disappointed to see the 
.
The 
turned changed little, but Spears spiked on the 
river to felt another unlucky player and move to a spot near the top of the counts heading into Level 8.
