Walton Steals the Lead From Maceiras
Level 37
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Adam Walton raised to 2,000,000 from under the gun with the A♦K♦ and Juan Maceiras called from the button with the A♣8♥ before both blinds got out of the way.
The flop was 7♥5♣7♠ and both players checked to see K♠ on the turn. Walton checked again and called when Maceiras bet 3,000,000.
The river was 9♦ and Walton checked once more. Maceiras bet 5,000,000 and went into the tank when Walton raised to 17,000,000.
Maceiras considered his options for nearly two minutes before he slid out the chips to call. Walton turned over his kings up and won a large pot to take over the lead.
