Walther Tears It Up

Germany's Jens Walther has gone on a nice little rush recently.

It started when he dispatched James 'imallrin' Ciurlioniss on a flop of {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Ciurlioniss held {A-Spades}{K-Spades} but Walther flipped {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for two pair. The turn was the {5-Spades} and river the {J-Diamonds} to send Ciurlioniss spiraling to the rail.

Before Walther could even stack his chips, he took down the next pot with an unchallenged preflop raise, before limping the next hand from under the gun. The play folded to George Moussa in the big blind who checked his option.

The flop was {9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Moussa fired out 3,000. Walther called and the {2-Clubs} hit the turn. Moussa fired again for 6,000 and again Walther made the call. The river was a scary {A-Clubs} and both players checked. Moussa flipped {K-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for threes and deuces, but Walther showed {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for the best hand to take it down. He's still stacking up his chips but we estimate it at around 165,000 chips.
