Taylor Stacks Another

[user22113]

The price was 60,000 to go and Brendan Taylor and Markus Golser saw the flop come {5-Hearts}

. Golser check raised Taylor and Taylor slowly made the call. The river brought the {A-Clubs}

and both players checked.

When the hands were it was Taylor's {J-Spades}

that out kicked Golser's {Q-Hearts}

.

Golser is down to 50,000.
Taylor is at 760,000.

Markus Golser has finished in sixth place. Sitting on only 60,000 and 20,00 of that just went the big blind. Jimmy Shultz raised and Golser called before putting his last 20,000 in on the flop of...

{10-Hearts}

Shultz made the call with {9-Clubs}

and was ahead of Golser's {A-Diamonds}

The turn and river blanked meaning we lose Golser after a valiant effort.

Fifth-Place Finisher

MarcC

Teddy "Iceman" Monroe has left us in fifth place after playing a great short stack game for nearly two days.

Jimmy Shultz accidently raised from under the gun thinking he was putting in the big blind. Monroe called all in for 30,000 from the small blind and Brendan Taylor called the raise from the big blind.

The flop came... {2-Hearts}

and both players checked so we head to the turn...

{8-Hearts}

Checked again so straight to the river...

{J-Spades}

Shultz went to bet but Taylor mucked. Jimmy flipped over ...

{7-Spades}

Which was good for the pot and enough to thaw the Iceman.

Vinny on a Charge

MarcC

Jimmy Shultz raised it up from the button and Vinny Vinh called from the button before moving all-in on a flop of...

{7-Hearts}

Shultz called holding {J-Diamonds}

, but it was behind to Vinh's {9-Clubs}

. The turn and river changed nothing and Vinh doubles up.

Soon after he took another nice pot, doubling through Brendan Taylor. Vinny opened the pot with a raise before calling a reraise from Taylor. The flop came...

{7-Clubs}

Vinny check-called a bet from Taylor before they both checked the turn of...

{9-Hearts}

.

The river brought the {A-Spades}

, causing Vinny to check-raise Taylor's bet. Taylor made the call but mucked when he saw Vinh's {A-Hearts}

.

Vinh now up to around 400,000. Game on again!

to take down the pot.

Fourth-Place Finisher

MarcC

Brendan Talyor is our fourth-place finisher after being knocked out by the ever-vocal Vinny Vinh. The board read...

{2-Clubs}

There was betting and raising on every street, culminating in Brendan calling all in on the river. He was forced to muck though upon seeing Vinh's {8-?}
