Fourie Doubles Through Walker

Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Gareth Fourie pushed all-in from the cutoff for 620,000 and Diane Walker asked for a count on the button.
"Are you gonna call me this time?" Fourie said and Walker did make the call. Saurabh Gulati tank-folded in the small blind.
Gareth Fourie: Q?Q?
Diane Walker: 9?9?
"Jack ten of hearts," Gulati said and Nic Ioannoy remarked "why do you tank so long with that?"
The superior pocket pair remained ahead on the 6?4?3?2?8? board and Fourie nearly closed the gap to Fourie.
