Shaun Walker Eliminated in 2nd Place ($43,480)

Level 30 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Shaun Walker - 2nd place
Shaun Walker - 2nd place

Shaun Walker squeezed his hole cards and considered his course of action for just a beat longer than usual. After a moment, he announced an all in for 670,000, and Seneca Easley asked for the count. When he learned the number, he made the call to put Walker at risk. It was another king-queen-versus-middle-pair flip, but the hands were reversed this time.

Showdown
Walker: {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}
Easley: {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}

The {5-Spades} {2-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} flop was just what Easley was looking for as his overcards found a pair to pull him into a big lead with two to come. The turn {5-Clubs} was no change for Walker, now drawing dead to the two remaining sevens in the deck.

River: {10-Hearts}

That's all she wrote for Walker, his sevens betraying him to leave him one spot shy of his goal. He'll have to settle for second place here today, bested by a formidable foe. Walker will take home more than $43,000 for his work over the past three days.
