Taylor Suffers Two Coolers In a Row

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Five hands after running his {K-}{K-} into an opponent's {A-}{A-} to lose half of his stack, WSOP Circuit ring holder Michael "Life" Taylor picked up {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and wagered the rest of his chips.

His opponent snap called, leaving Taylor to fear that he had ran into an overpair once again, but he was actually ahead of the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}.

The flop fell {A-}{K-}{Q-} and Taylor's opponent took the lead with top two pair, but a {10-} on the turn gave him a Broadway straight and the lead.

Before he could even pump a fist in celebration, however, the dealer burned and turned the last board card.

River: {K-}

Although his tournament life had come to an end in particularly brutal fashion, the man known as "Life" showed why he earned such an optimistic nickname, smiling and shrugging his shoulders before saying "We'll get 'em tomorrow."
