Taylor Doubles Through Ellis
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Duster Ellis opened the action with a raise from the cutoff to 8,000 before Jim Taylor responded with an all-in for 25,000 from the big blind. Ellis put in the call to put Taylor at risk.
Jim Taylor: K♥J♥
Duster Ellis: A♦10♠
Ellis was ahead as they went into the runout, but the flop improved Taylor's chances of a double when it came 10♥8♣Q♦ to give Taylor an open-ended straight draw.
The turn was a welcome sight for Taylor as it peeled the 9♣ to improve Taylor to the nut straight.
The inconsequential 6♠ river completed the board to award the chips to Taylor.
