Ron Walker Eliminated in 8th Place ($10,504)

Kirk Brown

Level 22 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Blair Hinkle opened to 100,000 and then Ron Walker moved all in for 370,000 after it folded to him. After confirming the count, Hinkle made the call to put him at risk and the cards were tabled.

Ron Walker: A?Q?
Blair Hinkle: 5?6?

Walker was in a good position to double preflop, but the flop of 5?7?J? put Hinkle in the lead with his pair of fives. The turn came another 5? to leave Walker drawing dead as the board completed with the A?. Hinkle was awarded the pot while Walker was eliminated in 8th place for a nice payout of $10,504.
