A Couple Flop Check-Shoves

Hand #1: There was well over 12,000 in the middle on a board of and Brian Taylor checked from under the gun. His opponent in the hijack put out a bet of 6,000 and Taylor check-raised all in for what was totaled to be 21,900.

"That's a good number," said his opponent, thinking about her decision for a full minute before sending her cards to the muck. Taylor took down the pot and brought his stack back over 40,000.

Hand #2: Moments later on an adjacent table, Nate Zoller and Greg Collins were in a heads-up pot with Zoller under the gun and Collins in middle position. Zoller check-raised all in over a bet of 8,500 fro Collins, sending him into the tank for well over two minutes as he was faced with a decision for his remaining 29,500.

Eventually, a clock was called on him just as he was about to act. As such, he told the dealer a clock was not necessary and announced a fold to earn Zoller the pot.
