Taylor, Sickels Earn Bustouts
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Chris Cutler moved all in for 14,500 in early position, Virgil Taylor reshoved in the cutoff, and the rest of the table got out of the way. "Do you have ace-king?" Cutler asked.
"I do," Taylor replied.
"Then it's a fair fight," Cutler added.
Chris Cutler: 7♥7♠
Virgil Taylor: A♥K♠
The J♠Q♣3♦ flop gave Taylor a straight draw to go with his overcards, while the A♠ fell on the turn to give him the lead with top pair. The river was the Q♠ and Cutler was sent to the rail.
At another table, Kevin Sickels raised to 3,500 in the hijack, the button moved all in for 30,000, and Sickels called.
All-In Player: 9♥9♠
Kevin Sickels: A♠A♦
Sickels hit top set on the A♥Q♣8♠ flop, while the rest of the board ran out 7♣3♣ and Sickels earned the knockout.
