Walton Turns Queen to Double Through Van Loo
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Andrew Hulme opened to 525,000 from middle position and Tim Van Loo called in the hijack before Adam Walton three-bet to 1,800,000 from the cutoff. Hulme folded and Van Loo sat still before reraising all in as Walton snap-called with the effective stack of 9,450,000.
Adam Walton: A♣Q♥
Tim Van Loo: J♣J♦
Walton was flipping for his Main Event life and got no help from the flop of 7♣4♥10♠.
"I just want a queen on the river," Walton said.
He didn't have to wait that long as the Q♠ appeared on the turn to give him the lead and his rail erupted as the K♦ river confirmed a double-up.
