Austin Walton once enjoyed a massive stack, even owning the chip leader’s status, but it all came tumbling down and the player who delivered him his brutal defeat was Jack En-Ching Wu.
The hand began with Walton limping in on the button then faced an all in by big blind Wu. Walton tanked for a bit then called for his tournament life.
Walton A♠ 8♣
Wu Q♥ 9♥
When the flop came A♣ 6♥ 6♠, Walton improved further to two pair but with the next two cards running 10♥ and 2♥, it was a runner-runner flush to Wu. Walton hit the rail in 6th place and earned HKD 77,600 for his impressive run at the Main Event.
