Xu Straightens Out Taylor on the River
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
George Xu raised to 12,000 from late position and Darren Taylor called from the button. They went heads up to the 
flop and Xu continued with a bet of 15,000. Taylor moved all in for 69,000, sending Xu deep into the tank for over two minutes.
Eventually a clock was called on Xu, and with just five seconds left to make his decision, he called.
George Xu: 
Taylor: 
"I was hoping you didn't have a hand like that," Xu said as Taylor rolled over his ace-king with the nut flush draw. The turn was the 
and Taylor was just one card away from the double-up, but the 
hit the river. Xu improved to the nut straight on the river and Taylor was eliminated.
