Taylor Stuns Hjelmstad on the River
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Level 11: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A few hands after he busted Cody Krause, Eric Hjelmstad opened to 9,000 on the button and Andrew Taylor three-bet to 26,000 in the big blind. Hjelmstad then moved all in for 75,000, and Taylor quickly called.
Eric Hjelmstad: 10♠10♦ 
Andrew Taylor: A♥K♠
Hjelmstad remained in the lead with his tens on the Q♣9♦3♣ flop, while the 10♥ turn improved him to a set. Taylor was left looking to complete a straight draw, and he spiked the J♥ on the river as Hjelmstad shot out of his seat and made a quick exit.
