The Man in White

Taylor Paur is known for his prowess on the virtual felt but he might be known as the Man in White by the end of today.

He had a last longer bet (that he lost) with Chris Moorman and Jake Cody in the high-roller at EPT Berlin last week. His penalty was to dye his hair blonde and where a white suit. Cody came second and also had to done a white suit with his black locks staying as they are.

We're a little disappointed as Paur actually pulls it of and looks rather fitting for a tournament held in Moncao. We'll get some pictures to you when we can, but for now let's concentrate on how his tournament is going. Not bad, but not great is the answer. As we listened to his table mates, Sam Trickett and George Danzer talk about last night's epic football game, Paur went about losing two pots on the trot.

The first one was a multi-way pot that he seemed to have a stab at on the turn. He was called by Mikhail Korotkikh though and the Russian took the pot down when he led on the river with the board reading {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}.

The very next hand Paur raised to 400 and was only called by Ricky Tang in the next seat. The flop fell {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Paur's 500 c-bet was called. Tang raised to 4,000 when he faced a 1,275 bet on the {10-Diamonds} turn. Paur called a led for 3,000 on the {a-Diamonds} river. Chang called and took the pot with {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} as his American opponent had a worse two-pair with {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.
