Walker Joins Leaders With Huge Pot

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Nick Walker
Nick Walker

Jimmy Thomson opened to 7,500, a player shoved for 40,600 from directly behind, and Nick Walker cold-called from the small blind. Thomson called behind, and the three players saw a flop with more than 120,000 already in the middle. Walker shoved for around 70,000, and Thomson tank-folded before opening {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} for top pair top kicker. Walker showed {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} for the same hand with a flush draw, and the player in Seat 10 needed help with his {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}. The {9-Hearts} turn and {8-Spades} board completed the flush for both players, but Walker's king-high took the massive pot to push him over 200,000 in chips.
