Taylor Paur took the chip lead on the last hand.
Taylor Paur took the chip lead on the last hand.

Taylor Paur opened for 100,000 under the gun and Steven Gee made it 260,000 to play from middle position. The blinds released and Paur called.

The flop came {3-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {K-Clubs}, Paur checked, Gee bet 160,000 and Paur called. The turn came {5-Clubs}, Paur led out for 480,000 and Gee called. The river came {2-Diamonds} and Paur took a few minutes to bet 1,200,000.

Gee tanked for a good while and his body language signaled he wasn't happy with Paur's bet. Gee hemmed and hawed and ultimately mucked his hand, surrendering the million plus pot to Paur.
