Sometimes You Gotta Fold

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Taylor Paur has started well here in Event #18; getting paid off with top set will do that to a man.

On a {8-Spades}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} board, the player under the gun checked, as did the player to his direct left, but Paur, bet 425 into the 550 pot. The player UTG then check-raised to 1,000 and only Paur called.

The river brought the {Q-Clubs} into play and the UTG player led for 1,500. Paur raised all in for just a few chips more and was called.

Paur turned over {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for top set, saying "Sometimes you just gotta fold," as he did so. Paur is now up to 6,400.
