Adam Walton entered the 2023 WSOP Main Event final table as big chip leader.
After Day 1 he was in 3rd place, but Walton came into the Grand Finale firing and managed to take second place, when this hand happened.
Steven Jones raised to 6,000,000 from the button with Q♦6♦, Adam Walton called with 8♠8♣ and Daniel Weinman 3-bet to 27,000,000 from the big the big blind with A♥A♦.
Jones got out of the way, but Adam Walton 4-bet shoved for 209,500,000 (84 big blinds) and Weinman obviously snap-called with the Nuts.

After busting Walton in this huge pot, Daniel Weinman entered heads-up play with an almost 3 to 1 lead.
