Taylor Continues To Climb
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The action folded to Kenan Taylor in the cutoff who opened for 24,000 and only Mike Watson made the call in the big blind.
The flop fanned out J♥9♠4♣ and both players checked their options to the Q♥ turn. Watson checked again and Taylor bet out 36,000. Watson took a moment before tossing in chips for the call and the pair saw the 5♠ river.
Watson checked a third time and Taylor assembled a large sizing of 180,000. Watson went in the tank, but after close to 30 seconds, let his hand go and the pot was sent to the chip leader.
