Taylor Wins a Big One

James Taylor opened with a raise to 100,000 from middle position. The action came around to Benjamin Scholl on the button, and he asked for a count on Taylor's remaining stack. Taylor had 480,000 chips behind the raise, and Scholl decided on a reraise to 300,000 straight. After a slight pause, Taylor moved all in for those 580,000 chips, and Scholl made the call.

Showdown
Taylor: {K-Clubs}

Scholl:

There was some chatter around the table as the players were thinking back to the series of two-outers that were hitting hard earlier in the day. There would be none of that nonsense this time though as the board ran {Q-Spades}

. With his kings holding, James Taylor has earned a big double up to 1,200,000. That leaves Scholl with the short stack of 328,000.
