Clock Runs Out on Taylor
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Samuel Taylor bet 130,000 from the big blind on a board of 8♦7♥6♠J♥ before Sebastian Crema moved all in from middle position. Taylor had around 600,000 behind and tanked for several minutes before another tablemate called the clock. His 30-second countdown had nearly reached zero when he tossed in his last chips.
Taylor showed Q♠J♠ for top pair, but he was behind Crema's A♠J♣. The river was the 4♦, and Taylor was sent to the rail.
At another table, Angel Lopez had shoved for 560,000 from the hijack and Ryan Mostafa called in the big blind.
Angel Lopez: A♣5♦
Ryan Mostafa: A♠9♠
Mostafa hit a pair on the 9♣J♥2♠ flop, while the turn was the 3♠. The J♠ river improved Mostafa to a flush, and Lopez was also sent off to the payout desk.
