Taylor Picks Up Queens to Double; Ramos Building a Big Stack

David Salituro

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kyle Scott raised to 4,000 in the hijack, Bryan Taylor moved all in for 42,400 in the cutoff, and Scott called.

Bryan Taylor: Q♥Q♠ All in
Kyle Scott: A♥10♦

Taylor had found two queens and was a favorite to double up as Scott was looking for an ace to score the knockout, but none arrived on the 6♠10♣4♥8♥4♦ board and Taylor stayed alive.

At the same table, Jesus Ramos has built up a stack of around 150,000.

Robert McKeown shoved for his last 20,000 in the small blind and Gary Stokes put him at risk in the big blind.

Robert McKeown: 3♠3♣ All in
Gary Stokes: Q♦5♦

McKeown was once again racing for his tournament life, and the A♦2♦6♣ flop gave Stokes a flush draw to go with his overcards. He hit the Q♠ on the turn to take the lead, while the 2♣ river sealed McKeown's elimination.

Level 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Jack Hardcastle raised to 3,200 under the gun and Derek Curran three-bet to 9,200 in the hijack. Hardcastle called, and they went heads-up to the J♥6♠2♠ flop.

Curran then bet 7,100, and Hardcastle called. The turn was the 7♦ and Curran moved all in for his last 25,000. Hardcastle snap-called.

Curran showed A♥J♠ for top pair, but Hardcastle had him drawing thin with A♣A♠. The river was the K♣ and Curran was sent to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Joachim Koeberl raised to 3,500 in the cutoff and was called by Michael Aspell on the button and Miguel Gracio in the small blind.

The flop came K♦7♦2♣ and Gracio moved all in for 6,700. "Let's go Spain!" he yelled out as he splashed his stack in the middle. Koeberl quickly folded.

"You can call with all those chips," Gracio told Aspell, who eventually stuck in the chips to put Gracio at risk.

Miguel Gracio: Q♣7♣ All in
Michael Aspell: A♥10♣

Gracio was ahead with his pair of sevens, while the J♠ turn gave Aspell more outs with a straight draw. The 6♣ river was safe for Gracio, and he doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Michael Aspell	150,000 60,000	60,000
Miguel Gracio	25,000 25,000	25,000
