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.
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:
Walker:
The board ran , 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.

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 tabled 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.
