Walker Stays Alive With Turn King

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

In preflop action, Ray Qartomy raised to 3,000 and Ken Walker called. A third player reraised to 7,500, and both Qartomy and Walker called. The flop was {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and Qartomy checked as the first player to act. Walker had already stacked all his chips up, which made it easy for him when he slid them into the middle for an all-in bet. The preflop three-bettor folded, then Qartomy called after getting a count — it was 8,200 more to call.

Qartomy was in the lead with {6-}{6-}, and Walker needed help with the {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

Walker's help came right away on the turn in the form of the {k-Diamonds}. The river was the {5-Hearts} and kept him in the lead, doubling Walker up to over 30,000.
