Valerstein Wins Huge Pot Against Walsworth

Walsworth came along to see the turn and checked. Valerstein bet a cool 100,000 and after about one minute in the tank, Walsworth called. The river fell it was the same story. Walsworth check-called 150,000 from Valerstein after a bit of time in the tank, but he was not happy to see Valerstein table .
"Two pair," said Walsworth. "Should have shoved the turn."
