Hirschfeld Doubles then Reproaches Taylor

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Tyler Hirschfeld opened to 20,000 from early position. Action folded all the way around to Samuel Taylor in the big blind, who defended.

On a flop of 94Q Taylor checked over, and Hirschfeld bet out for 20,000. Taylor went deep into the tank, and clock was called on him. He raised to 100,000, and Hirschfeld snap-jammed. Taylor had the clock called again, and called with a second left.

Samuel Taylor: A9 All in
Tyler Hirschfeld: J10

Taylor held the lead and kept it on the 42 runout.

"You're gonna have to act quicker than that," Hirschfeld told Taylor. Taylor remained stoic.

The board read 57KK9 and Mehrotra checked it over to his opponent. Yanovsky fired out 75,000, only to see his opponent rip it for 535,000. Yanovsky, disgusted, thought about the situation for quite some time before slamming in a call.

Mehrotra tabled 77 for sevens full, and scooped in the massive pot as Yanovsky flashed AxKx
