Taylor Over a Million After "Standard" Hand

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Guy Taylor
Guy Taylor

Guy Taylor made a point of telling us he was over a million and his tablemate made Taylor tell us the story of how he had accumulated his new-found chips, despite Taylor's protestations that the hand was, in his words, "standard."

Taylor had limped and an opponent had raised to 18,000. Taylor called and the flop came {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, and he check-called a bet. The pair checked the {4-Hearts} turn and the river was the {j-Clubs}. Taylor over bet the pot for 96,000 and his opponent snap-called.

Taylor showed {4-Spades}{8-Spades} for trip fours, with his opponent mucking {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

"It was standard," said Taylor.

Etim Doubles Through Hemming

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Thomas Hemming has been the success story of the day, with his stack increasing up to around 1.5m in chips. However, when we got to his table he was up against the all in of Terence Etim.

Etim was all in for 436,000 on a {3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds} board, with 180,000 in the pot already.

Thomas Hemming: {7-}{8-}
Terence Etim: {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Etim had made his straight, but Hemming was still open-ended to knock Etim out. The river was a brick meaning Etim doubled up. Both players are now sitting on seven-figure stacks.

According to Natalia Breviglieri, she got her last 14 big blinds in with pocket threes, only for another player to wake up with aces and send her to the rail.

Tolley Doubles Before Battling with Luz

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Table 81 has just broken in the marquee but not before the final three hands of drama.

In the first hand, Emma Tolley eliminated a player and moved to over 850,000 after hitting a full-house with pocket-fives. She then immediately raised from under the gun position and called a three-bet from the start-of-day chip-leader Alex Luz.

On the {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop, Tolley check-called a bet of 51,000 before the {10-Spades} hit the turn. Both players checked and they went to the river.

Tolley once again checked after the {7-Diamonds} was revealed and Luz bet for 81,000. Tolley made the call.

Alex Luz: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Emma Tolley: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

It was another win for Tolley with pocket-fives, this time completing a flush.

In the third and final hand at table 81, Tolley in the big blind defended a cutoff raise from Luz and checked-called the {j-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop.

Both players checked the {7-Spades} turn before Tolley called a 58,000 river bet after seeing the {10-Hearts}

Luz turned over {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for a straight and equaled the score against 2017 DTD Christmas Cup winner Tolley as she mucked.
