Taylor Runs Down Salvation

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

From the button, David Bach raised to 20,000, and Anders Taylor three-bet the pot from the small blind. It was 68,000 total, and Bach called to see a flop.

It came {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {8-Spades}, and Taylor led out all in for 101,000. Bach matched the bet with the covering stack, and he was well in front as the cards were turned over.

Showdown
Bach: {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {4-Hearts}
Taylor: {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}

Bach's top pair gave him a big lead, and the {2-Clubs} on the turn kept him in front. Taylor needed to catch a seven to scoop or a low card to stay alive with a chop. The river was the {4-Diamonds}, a suitably low non-pair for Taylor, and he ran down a low hand to survive his all in. The two men get their money back, and Taylor has 173,000.
