Chippies

Action is a bit slow these days, with most pots being dragged preflop or checked through to the end. So how about a chip count update?

Paul Hails Eliminated in 5th Place ($17,226)

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Paul Hails - 5th Place
Paul Hails - 5th Place

From under the gun, Paul Hails raised to 80,000 with 196,000 behind. Action folded to Seneca Easley in the big blind and he moved all in. Hails made the call.

Hails tabled the {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and was in a dominating position to double up and get himself out of the short-stack gutter against Easley's {A-Spades}{9-Spades}. The five community cards on the flop, turn and river would have other plans though.

The flop came down {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} to give Easley the best hand with a pair of nines. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and the river the {4-Spades}. Hails failed to get back in front after being out-flopped and hit the rail in fifth place for over $17,000 in prize money. Easley now has about 1.5 million in chips.

Patrick Karschamroon Eliminated in 4th Place ($23,057)

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Patrick Karschamroon - 4th Place
Patrick Karschamroon - 4th Place

Action was heads up on a {7-Spades} {8-Clubs} {A-Clubs} flop, and Narinder Khasria checked. Patrick Karschamroon made a bet of what looked like 95,000, and Khasria made a relatively quick call.

That brought them to the {K-Spades} turn, and it would prove to be the action card. When Khasria checked again, Karschamroon fired 200,000 at the pot, about 40% of his remaining stack. Khasria check-raised all in over the top, and Karschamroon put himself at risk with the call. The news would not be good for him as the cards were turned over:

Khasria: {K-Clubs} {7-Clubs}
Karschamroon: {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

Karschamroon's top pair was drawing dead to an ace, an eight, or a non-club ten, but the river was the blank {3-Spades}.

Patrick Karschamroon has thusly been sent packing in fourth place, good for a payday of $23,057.

Easley Shows Bottom Pair

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

From the small blind, Narinder Khasria raised to 80,000. Seneca Easley called from the big blind and the flop came down {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Khasria bet 100,000 and Easley made the call.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and both players checked. The river completed the board with the {2-Spades} and Khasria checked again. Easley grabbed for his chips, paused, looked up at the dealer and said, "175," before betting 175,000. Khasria folded the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} face up.

"How do you fold that?" said Easley with a smile, showing the {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for just bottom pair of threes.

Walker Spikes a Lucky Double

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Shaun Walker
Shaun Walker

From the button, Seneca Easley raised to 75,000. Shaun Walker moved all in from the small blind for 686,000. Narinder Khasria folded in the big blind and Easley quickly called, tabling the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. Walker was dominated with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

The flop was good to Walker, coming down {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Spades} to give him top pair and the lead. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and the river the {7-Diamonds}. Walker won the hand and doubled to 1.414 million. Easley was knocked back to about 1.4 million.

Easley Tries Twice, Walker Not Folding

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

From the small blind, Seneca Easley opened to 80,000, and Shaun Walker defended his big to see a flop.

They both checked through the {7-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} flop to see the {4-Diamonds} land on fourth street. Easley took the lead now, betting 110,000 into the pot, and Walker made the quick call. The {6-Spades} appeared on the river, and Easley loaded up with another 150,000 and stuck it in there. That sent Walker into the tank for a bit, and he clearly didn't buy what Easley was selling.

"I got the feeling you don't got much," he said. After a moment, he added, "I don't got much either."

Walker had been shuffling the six yellow T25,000 chips required to call, and he eventually convinced himself to drop them into the pot. He was right.

"I have... ten-high," Easley announced.

Walker turned up {7-Diamonds} {8-Spades}, and his second pair was enough to take it down, dropping Easley under a million to about 850,000.
