Walden Spikes the River to Bust One
Owen Dodd limped in from the cutoff before the button raised to 1,500. Jamie Walden, in the small blind, then three-bet to 4,000 and both Dodd and the button called.
The flop came J♣10♠2♠ and action checked to the button who bet 7,000. Walden then raised to 17,000 and Dodd got out of the way. Walden's remaining opponent, though, tanked for a minute before reraising to 29,000, leaving a green 500 chip behind.
Walden then tanked for a minute before moving all in, and his opponent tossed in his last chip.
All-In Player: A♦J♦
Jamie Walden: K♣Q♥
Walden had a straight draw against his opponent's top pair but failed to connect with the 2♦ turn. The river was the Q♦ and Walden made top pair to send his opponent crashing out of the tournament.
"That's what the kids do nowadays. Limp, raise, three-bet. He was excited to look at king-queen," a tablemate joked with Walden after the hand.
