Level 5: 400/800/800
Entries: 398/510
James Walker opened to 2,000 from the button, and was met with a three-bet to 4,800 from Virgo Laansoo in the small blind. Action back to Walker, who called.
Laanso continued with a bet of 3,000 on the runout, which failed to shake off Walker.
The turn paired the board, and Laanso continued with a downsized bet of 4,700. Walker seemed suspicious, and thought through the spot for a moment before jamming for around 18,000. Laanso snapped it off with the covering stack.
James Walker:
Virgo Laansoo:
Walker was crushed versus Laansoo’s better two pair, and he could not find an unlikely seven or five on the river.
Virgo Laanso – 73,000
James Walker – eliminated
