Congratulations to Seneca Easley, WSOP-C Rincon Main Event Champion ($70,384)!
It's all over folks, the 2010-11 World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event at Harrah's Rincon has concluded and it's Seneca Easley walking away with the title, the gold ring and $70,384 in first-place prize money! Not only that, Easley has earned an entry into the $1,000,000 National Championship Freeroll to be held in Las Vegas at the end of May.
The final table seemed to be cruising along at a nice, steady pace, but that pace came to an abrupt halt when Easley got heads up with Shaun Walker. The two players played extremely small pots, often limping in from the button preflop and checking the action down on the subsequent streets if not for one bet winning the pot prior. That, coupled with a few double ups from the short stack allowed for heads-up play to last a few hours.
The biggest turning point came when Easley came from behind in a big all-in situation with pocket threes against Walker's sevens. Easley flopped a three on that hand to double up and take back the chip lead from Walker.
On the final hand, Easley's 
was able to out-flip the 
for Walker, further proving the unluckiness of pocket sevens for Walker. A queen flopped and Easley held from there. Walker didn't leave empty handed though, he earned over $43,000 for his runner-up finish.
