Easley Bests Khasria

Level 28 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

From the button, Seneca Easley raised to 150,000, or 3.25 times the big blind. Narinder Khasria called from the big blind and the flop came down {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Both players checked and the turn brought the {A-Clubs}. Both checked again. The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Khasria checked to Easley and he bet 100,000. Khasria quickly called.

Easley tabled the {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and Khasria the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Easley won the pot with his pair of aces.

Khasria Drinking Double

Level 28 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

From the button, Narinder Khasria raised to 125,000, and Seneca Easley three-bet to 300,000 straight. Khasria only started the hand with 725,000, but he figured he had enough chips to flat, and he decided to see a flop.

It came {4-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {J-Clubs}, and Easley quickly announced an all in. Khasria had 425,000 chips left in front of him, and he spent a minute considering before sliding them into the middle to put himself at risk.

Showdown
Khasria: {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}
Easley: {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

Easley was really looking for an ace, but the turn {K-Clubs} gave him an additional eight outs to the club flush. The river was black, but it was the wrong shade as the {K-Spades} gave Khasria two pair and the double up. Mark him down for 1.505 million now, while Easley has 585,000 left with which to mount another charge.

If earlier play is any indication, this stack size is one he's comfortable playing.

Easley Runs into Two Cowboys

Level 28 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Seneca Easley limped in from the small blind, and Shaun Walker raised to 115,000 from the big. Easley thought it over for a minute before stacking the calling chips out into the pot.

The flop came {8-Spades} {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}, and Easley check-called a small bet of 75,000. The {10-Hearts} turn drew checks from both players, and the river {5-Clubs} drew one more check from Easley. That was Walker's cue to make another bet -- 250,000 this time. Easley thought it over long and hard before announcing the call.

Walker tabled {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} for kings up, and it was good. Easley is down to 895,000 now.

Narinder Khasria Eliminated in 3rd Place ($31,395)

Level 28 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Narinder Khasria - 3rd place
Narinder Khasria - 3rd place

In a battle of the blinds, Narinder Khasria got himself all in for less than 400,000 from the big. He had {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}, and he was in bad shape as Shaun Walker held {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} and the big stack.

The dealer gave Khasria a little bit of help on the {9-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {7-Spades} flop, but the turn {6-Spades} left him dead to five outs. The river {K-Diamonds} was not an ace or a nine, and Khasria has been eliminated in third place. It was a fine performance from the Canadian here this week, and he'll be rewarded with more than $30,000 as a consolation prize.

Straight Over Straight

Seneca Easley limped from the button and Shaun Walker checked from the big blind. The flop came down {J-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Walker check-called a bet of 50,000 from Easley.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Walker led for 175,000. Easley thought for a minute and then moved all in for 890,000. Walker called.

Easley: {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Walker: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Both players held straights, but Easley's was a bit higher. The river completed the board with the {10-Clubs} and there would be no chop on this one. Easley doubled.

Easley Picks Up Another

Level 28 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Shaun Walker opened to 100,000, and Seneca Easley defended his big blind.

When the dealer spread {5-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} out on the flop, Easley check-called a 105,000-chip continuation bet, and the {7-Spades} landed on the turn. Action check-checked to the {9-Diamonds} river, and now Easley took the lead with a copycat bet of 105,000. Walker quickly called with a flick of the wrist.

"I got a king," Easley said as he tabled his {K-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}. It was good, and it's allowed Easley to extend his lead just a bit.

Easley - 2.2 million
Walker - 1.5 million
