Walker sighed and hit the tank. He agonized over the spot and eventually asked, "You flopped a set, didn't you?"
Aquilina didn't respond.
"If you didn't I think I'm ahead," Walker added. Eventually he called off and suddenly there were 2 million in chips at stake.
Aquilina:
Walker:
"Good call," Aquilina complimented. Walker clapped his hands together in excitement. It was clearly a defining moment for the young pro. What's more, he was rewarded for the tough call when the safely landed on the turn followed by the river.
Action exploded on a flop between Bob De Wolfe and Andre Smith that resulted in the former player getting his sizable stack in the middle.
De Wolfe:
Smith:

"You were quite the character," someone at the table said. Indeed he was.
After Bob De Wolfe limped from the hijack, a short-stacked Travell Thomas moved all in for 194,000 from the cutoff. Louis Aquilina called from the button, the blinds folded, and De Wolfe got out of the way.
Aquilina:
Thomas:
Thomas seemed shocked that his opponent called him with the hand that he did, but there was nothing that could be done about it now. Needless to say, the flop didn't sit too well with Thomas as Aquilina paired his king to take the lead, not to mention his flush draw.
Thomas, who finished eighth in this very event last year, was up out of his seat and didn't even notice the turn gave him back the lead with trips. Before he could, the spiked on the river to give Aquilina the flush. Thomas was lamenting the defeat when he noticed the second ten.
"I didn't even see it," he said. "I knew my demise would be to some shit like that."

De Wolfe led out for another 60,000, but this time he folded when Aquilina raised all in.

Nicholas Walker then three-bet to 114,000 from the small blind, Gay moved all in for 204,000 more, and Smith got out of the way. Walker hit the tank for a bit, during which time he tried to coax some information from Gay, and then wound up making the call.
Gray:
Walker:
Even had they not gotten it in preflop, we're guessing they would have on the flop. Walker flopped top two pair, but of course it was behind the top set of Gay. The turn left Walker drawing dead, and after the was put out on the river, Gay was pushed the pot.
