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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
