Break?

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

By our count, there are still about 18 minutes left in the current level. Our count doesn't really matter, though, and the break clock just began ticking down from ten minutes. The players had already left the table before the staff realized the error, and it's been remedied now.

We're taking ten minutes off, and we'll play 18 more minutes of Level 26 when the players return.

Walker Seeing Double

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Seneca Easley opened to 80,000 before Shaun Walker three-bet all in for 319,000 total. "What is it, like 300?" Easley asked with a shrug. "All right, I call." With that, Walker was at risk, and the cards were on their backs:

Easley: {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts}
Walker: {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

The board ran {10-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {K-Clubs}, and Walker's jacks hold up to earn him the double. He's close to 700,000 now but Easley is still leading with 1.1 million despite dropping that pot.

It's an Easley Game

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

When we walked up to the table, there was a turned board showing {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {7-Clubs} out in the middle of the table and about 400,000 chips already piled in the pot. It was another heads-up pot between Seneca Easley and Shaun Walker, and Easley had bet (or raised) 340,000, enough to cover Walker.

Walker spent a few minutes in the tank with a confused scowl on his face, and he eventually decided a fold was the proper play, saving about 325,000 chips for a better spot.

Easley is taking command of this table, sitting pretty with close to 1.2 million now.

Easley Finds His Card (and Action, Too)

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Seneca Easley
Seneca Easley

Shaun Walker opened with a raise before the flop, and Seneca Easley defended his blind to see a flop.

It came {9-Spades} {4-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}, and Easley check-called a bet of 75,000. The two men check-checked the {8-Diamonds} turn, and the {5-Clubs} filled out the board on fifth street. That cued action from Easley, and he fired out 150,000 into the pot. Walker spent some time tanking it up before sliding the call forward, and he'd not like what he saw.

Easley tabled {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} for the straight, and Walker sent his cards into the muck.

"If I bet the turn," Walker said, "we get it all in."

"How 'bout if I bet the turn?" Easley asked.

"We get it all in," Walker responded flatly.

Easley is now up to about 960,000, sliding Walker back to 470,000 courtesy of that pot.

Walker Flushes Easley

Level 25 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Shaun Walker
Shaun Walker

Seneca Easley opened to 50,000, and Shaun Walker defended his small blind to see a heads-up flop.

Both players checked the {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}, and the {6-Clubs} drew a leading bet of 75,000 from Walker. Easley quickly called, and Walker fired another 100,000 after the {5-Clubs} river. Easley called instantly once again, and those were chips he'd not get back. Walker showed up {10-Clubs} {J-Clubs} for the running flush, and he's once again taken the chip lead with that pot.
