Louis Aquilina Eliminated in 4th Place ($15,011)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Louis Aquilina - 4th Place
Louis Aquilina - 4th Place

Nicholas Walker opened for 60,000 under the gun and then called when Louis Aquilina three-bet to 130,000 from the button. Walker then checked the {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop and snap-called when Aquilina moved all in for 669,000.

Aquilina: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Walker: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Both players had paired their ace, but it was Walker's kicker that made him the huge favorite. The {J-Diamonds} turn swapped their spots, meaning Aquilina needed a king to make a straight and stay alive. The {2-Hearts} river wasn't what he was looking for and he had to settle for fourth place and $15,011.
