Walter's Soldiers Carry the Day
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
George Walter bet 7,000 from early position on a A?6?9? flop and Stephen Hornacek came along.
When the Q? came on the turn, Walter asked for a pot calculation, and then deliberately placed all 37,200 of his remaining soldiers in regimented lines in front of him. Hornacek took a moment to consider, gave his chips a kiss for luck, and made the call.
George Walter: A?Q?4?4?3?
Stephen Hornacek: K?8?7?5?3?
Walter led with two pair and a better low draw and the 9? river secured him the double.
