Hails Takes Command
Level 25
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
On the first hand back from break, a big pot broke out. We were late catching up to the action, joining on the turn as the board showed . In a battle of the blinds, Paul Hails and Shaun Walker had built a big pot, and it looks like Hails bet the turn and Walker raised to put 350,000 in the middle. With the action back on Hails, he moved all in for the 700,000 chips he had left in front of him, putting Walker to a big decision for nearly his full stack.
It would be several minutes of tank time before Walker surrendered, flashing the as he did.
That big pot slides Walker down to 900,000, boosting Hails into the chip lead with 1.05 million now!
