Tom Grigg kicked things off in a pot that turned out to be massive by raising to 50,000 from the cutoff. Gary Benson called on the button, and Keith Walker followed suit from the big blind. So far so good.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Walker lead out for 76,000. Grigg kicked his cards into the muck, but Benson followed with the call.

On the turn the {3-Hearts} hit, and Walker threw out 150,000. Benson hesitated for only a couple of seconds before making the call.

The river brought out the {9-Spades}, and Walker grabbed chips right away. He counted out a bet of 175,000, and threw it onto the table. Benson shuffled his chips, and announced a raise. He put in 350,000 and Walker moved all in right away.

"Call!" Benson yelled in excitement, but the news he got wasn't good. Walker turned over {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for trips and beat Benson's {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

"Are you kidding me!" Benseon yelled. The experienced Australian player was disappointed and Walker ended up being all in for 678,000. Benson only had 626,000, and he was eliminated.
