Walker Doubles Through McKeehen

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Contrary to what many people think, Lady Luck doesn't play favorites. This was just proven for Leo Walker, who secured a double up by getting quite lucky, just minutes after he got unlucky against Hend Matthews.

Action folded around to Walker on the button, and he shoved all in for his last 317,000. It folded to our chip leader Joseph McKeehen in the big blind, and he asked for a count. When he got it, he asked Walker "Do you want a call?" Walker responded, "It's up to you", to which McKeehen chuckled and said, "good answer." After a few more seconds of thinking, McKeehen put out a stack of chips, signifying a call.

Walker: {5-Spades}{4-Spades}
McKeehen: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

It was a good call for McKeehen, and it looked like he would be rewarded for it when the flop came down {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{k-Clubs}. Walker got the best card he could hope for on the turn, the {7-Spades}, giving him straight and flush draw possibilities. He caught his flush on the river, the {q-Spades}, and Walker clapped his hand and let out a big "Yes!"

McKeehen is still plenty fine with 2.7 million, while Walker jumps up to 700,000.
