Walker Put to the Test and Passes
A massive pot just went down in the last hand before the break.
With around 125,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, Nicholas Walker led out for 65,000 from the under-the-gun position and Louis Aquilina popped it to 140,000. Walker responded by three-betting to 395,000, and Aquilina four-bet all in.
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.
