Nick Walsh opened to 40,000 from the Hi-jack, and got one customer in the form of Gary Robertson in the Big Blind.

Robinson check-called 40,000 from Walsh on the 4♠9♥5♦ flop before action went check-check on the 7♥ turn. When Robertson bet 115,000 on the A♥ river, Walsh exhaled at a power that would blow down the house of The Three Little Pigs. He adjusted his hat and studied the board with surgical precision. Eventually, he let his hand go, tabling J♦9♦.

“Should be a bluff,” Walsh predicted his opponent was deep-sea fishing as his cards hit the muck. “Show it?” he asked Robertson, who agreed to the request. “It was a good fold, and I’m still mad!” an agonized Walsh groaned in pain as Robertson revealed Q♥10♥. Once he was made aware that this poker.pro live reporter caught the hand, he wished, “Write down that it was an expert fold.” I’d like to think I did him justice.

Gary Robertson: 895,000
Nick Walsh: 365,000
