Paul Taylor Likes the River

[user25067]

Paul Taylor hooked up with Karib Karib in this monster pot. Here's what their boards looked like on sixth street.

Taylor (x-x) {Q-Diamonds}

Karib (x-x) {10-Clubs}

On sixth street Taylor bet and Karib called. On seventh, Taylor led out again and Karib called. Taylor turned up {A-Hearts}

in the hole for quad aces as Karib bemoaned his luck, holding {Q-Hearts}

in the hole for a king-high straight he made on sixth. Taylor had quadded up on seventh street and dragged the monster pot.

Karib Karib was crippled on the hand, left with only 5,000 in chips.
