Rich Getting Richer

Action is still hard to come by at the final table, but we did have a recent pot that went to showdown. Pat Walsh was the preflop aggressor, raising to 105,000. Blake Cahail, the chip leader, called from the button to a flop of {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {A-Hearts}. Both players checked. When the turn fell {8-Diamonds}, Walsh took a stab with a bet of 110,000. Cahail wanted to see the river; he put a matching 110,000 chips into the pot. The river was the {A-Spades}, which both players quickly checked. Walsh's {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} was no match for Cahail's pocket pair, {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}. Another pot was pushed in Cahail's direction.
