The World Number One took the first frame with a break of 60. But the off-form 34-year-old made a string of errors to give Walker the chance to take a stranglehold of the match.
Walker raced into a 4-1 lead in the best of nine-frame encounter, with only a sloppy missed red halting his charge to victory.
A tidy break of 56 by Selby brought the match back to 4-2, but Walker held his nerve in the seventh frame to win 70-48.
