Taylor Hears, "Alright, Baby"

Level 6

2-7

Michael Taylor raised from early position and found a call from the small blind and Scotty Nguyen from the big blind. The small blind drew two, Nguyen and Taylor each drew one.

Action checked to Taylor who bet again and both opponents once again called. All three players drew one on the second draw.

The action checked over to Taylor once more and he bet again. The small blind folded and Nguyen thought for a bit.

"Alright, baby," and he conceded the pot to Taylor. However, he couldn't help but look at what his next card would have been.

"Dang it!" said Nguyen.

"I was pat, what would you have made"? asked Taylor.

"Seventy-five," said Nguyen, the best possible hand.

"Wow, yeah, I had eighty-six," said Taylor.

"Bad play, baby. Bad play," lamented Nguyen as Taylor took down the pot.
