Taylor Survives Dramatic All In

Action opened when a short-stacked player moved all in from early position for 5,700. A middle position player flat called as did the player in the small blind. Brant Taylor then shipped all in over the top for roughly 40,000 more from the big blind. The first caller folded and the small blind called.

Taylor: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Small Blind: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Early Position: {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The flop was {2-Spades}{Q-Spades}{3-Hearts} with the {10-Hearts} hitting the turn. This turn gave the small blind both heart and straight outs on top of her pair outs. Fortunately for Brant, the river was the {8-Spades} and his nines were able to hold as the best hand. He's currently sitting at about 95,000 while the early position player was eliminated and the small blind crippled.

Chan Jumps Into Chip Lead

We caught up to find Lillian Chan pondering making the call of an all in player. From what we can gather Chan opened with a raise and her opponent three-bet her from the button. When she four-bet, he moved all in for his last 30,300. With well over 33,000 already in the middle, Chan announced a call.

Chan: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {J-Hearts}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Chan's ladies were able to hold. With this win she has skyrocketed into the chip lead with about 200,000 in chips.

Gigliotti Breaches 100k

A middle position player opened to 2,300 and it folded around to Jason Gigliotti who three-bet to 5,600 from the small blind. Action folded back to the original raiser and he flat called to see a flop.

The dealer faned {Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} on the felt and Gigliotti fired out a c-bet of 6,700. His opponent folded {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} face up and Gigliotti tapped the table as he dragged in his latest pot. He's current representing a stack of about 106,000.

Jang Soars; Cheung Crippled

Robert Cheung and James Jang saw a flop together in a raise pot. The flop was brimming with paint as it fell {J-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The action at this point is unknown, but the two ended up getting it all in with Jang being at risk.

Cheung: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}
Jang: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

Both players flopped two pair but Jang's were better than Cheung's. The {10-Spades} turned and the {2-Clubs} rivered, causing Cheung to ship over 50,500 to Jang, thus crippling Cheung down to about 8,000. Jang, however, is now well into the six digits.
