Everton Taylor

Everton Taylor raised to 2,100,000 from the cutoff leaving himself just 175,000 behind. It folded to Ryan Tamanini in the big blind and he moved all in. Taylor put the last of his chips in turning over {a-Spades}{7-Clubs} but he was dominated by Tamanini's {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Tamanini's big slick was enough to send Taylor to the rail.

Taylor is the ninth-place finisher and he will take home $5,396 for his efforts.
