Flush Over Flush

After Seneca Easley limped in from the button, Shaun Walker raised to 160,000 from the big blind. Easley made the call and the flop came down {Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Walker bet 140,000 and Easley made the call.

The turn brought the {A-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {5-Hearts} fall on the river. With four hearts now on board, Walker checked. Easley tanked for a bit and asked how much Walker had left, which was 1.15 million. He then checked behind.

Walker tabled the {9-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a nine-high flush. Walker held the {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a seven-high flush. Walker won the hand and moved back to 1.76 million in chips.

We Have Another Three-Bet... And a Four-Bet!

Level 29 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Shaun Walker
Shaun Walker

With the button in front of him, Seneca Easley opened to 100,000, the usual. What was unusual was Shaun Walker's response, a rare three-bet to 250,000 total. Easley didn't waste much time announcing a four-bet all in, and Walker leaned forward across the felt. "Did you say you're all in?" Easley nodded. "Oh, I call," Walker said with confidence, committing his last 1.2 million chips to the pot.

Showdown
Easley: {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}
Walker: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

"Wow," Easley said as he shook his head. "Cold deck." Little did he know how cold the deck could get. He was looking for a ten, but Walker instead found two more aces as the flop came {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {7-Spades}. Easley could only chuckle as his misfortune as the turn {4-Clubs} and river {K-Diamonds} filled out the board for good measure.

After that double, Walker is now in control with 2.61 million, dropping Easley down close to 1 million.

Easley Gets Shovey

Level 29 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

From the button, Seneca Easley opened to 100,000, and Shaun Walker once again three-bet to 250,000 total. Easley wasted no time calling, and off they went to a {A-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} flop. Walker continued out with 200,000 more chips, and Easley called even quicker this time.

That brought them to the {3-Hearts} turn, and Walker took just a moment's pause. He tapped the felt, and Easley took his cue to announce an all in shove. Walker uncapped his cards with a bit of frustration crossing his face, surrendering them to the muck and dropping his stack down under 1 million.
