Cracked Aces Sends Easley to the Rail

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a flop of {3-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, a player in early position checked and allowed Seneca Easley to bet 700. A late-position player made the call, and then the EP player check-raised to 2,350. Not to be outdone, Easley made it 5,000 to go, which pushed the LP player out of the hand.

The EP player then moved all in for around 19,500 and Easley wasted little time in calling off his remaining 12,000.

Showdown

Easley{A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
EP{A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

Last year's WSOP Circuit Rincon Main Event champion was ahead with pocket rockets and looking to avoid a diamond, which turned out to be easier said than done as the {4-Diamonds} spiked to give his opponent the nuts. The meaningless {5-Hearts} was put out on the river and Easley made his exit from the tournament.
