Taylor Cracks Watkins' Big Slick
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Johnny Ambrosio opened the action with a raise to 2,400 and was called by Brian Taylor in the hijack. Sylvia Watkins was in the cutoff and three-bet all in for 11,400. Action folded back to Ambrosio and he let his hand go. Taylor then thought for some time before tossing in chips to call.
Sylvia Watkins: 
Brian Taylor: 
Watkins was out in front and stayed there on the flop 
. However, Taylor picked up four more outs to bring his total to 10. He hit one of them on the turn 
, giving him a pair of sevens and leaving Watkins in need of hitting an ace or queen to stay alive. She would not do so as the river fell 
and she was eliminated from the tournament.
