Lerner��s Sixes Outlast Big Slick
With a player knocked out to Matthew Lerner��s immediate right, the action before the flop meant Lerner was the lone player to post the big blind and ante.
Lerner jokingly asked for a walk while the dealer fanned out the cards.
The player under the gun, however, had other ideas and raised to 525,000. Action folded around the table to Lerner, who peeked down at his cards and moved all in to put himself at risk.
The player under the gun immediately called.
Matthew Lerner: 6?6? 
Opponent: A?K?
The dealer placed 3?7?J? on the flop, keeping Lerner��s pocket pair in the lead. He went on to secure the hand for the double up after 9? hit the turn and 7? showed up on the river.
��Should��ve given him the walk,�� a player joked at the table.
