Xu Straightens Out Taylor on the River

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
George Xu
George Xu

George Xu raised to 12,000 from late position and Darren Taylor called from the button. They went heads up to the {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} 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: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Taylor: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

"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 {10-Spades} and Taylor was just one card away from the double-up, but the {k-Spades} hit the river. Xu improved to the nut straight on the river and Taylor was eliminated.
