Walker Makes His Stand

[user66118]

Level 23 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Under the gun, Shaun Walker opened to 30,000, and the table passed around to the button. There, Seneca Easley three-bet it to 100,000 straight, and the action came back on Walker. He had just 148,000 chips left in front of him, and he spent a minute or two mulling over the decision. He had {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} though, and Walker figured he pretty much had no choice. All in he went, and Easley quickly called the remainder to put Walker at risk. The shorty was in fine shape to double as Easley tabled the dominated {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts} .

The {3-Spades} {4-Clubs} {10-Clubs} flop gave Easley another four outs to make a wheel, and the {10-Hearts} turn opened up six more chop outs for him to take his chips back. The river was the {10-Spades} , though, a good card for Walker, securing his double up. He's back to 386,000 now, sliding Easley back to about 520,000 in the process.
