Taylor Takes A Tough Beat

"It's so sick I should have 220k right now." These were the words of Michael Taylor as he was walking back to his table from the break. Taylor told us about a big hand he played just before the break that left him with just 30,000 chips.

There was a middle position limper when the small blind raised it up to 12,000. Taylor peaked down at his cards in the big blind, and raised it up to 31,000. According to Taylor, as soon as the original limper folded, the small blind moved all in for 80,000, and he snap called.

Taylor was in fantastic shape to build a big stack, but that all changed when the flop came down . Another on the turn sealed it, and Taylor had to ship most of his stack over.
