McAulay Keeps Climbing
Level 12
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Kane raised to 10,000 in middle position and was called by Brandon Sheils in the cutoff, as well as Paul McAulay and Bryan Taylor in the blinds.
The flop came J♠6♠2♦ and Taylor bet 10,000. Only Sheils and McAulay called.
Action checked to Sheils on the 10♠ turn and he bet 15,000. McAulay called, while Taylor got out of the way. Both players checked the 5♦ river and Sheils showed J♠9♠ for top pair, but McAulay had K♣J♦ and took the pot with his king-kicker.
