Stolzenfeld Finds Back-to-Back Double-Ups, Soars to Chip Lead
Level 39
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
A few hands after his previous win, Steven Stolzenfeld three-bet John Taylor's button-raise of 2,500,000 to 7,300,000.
Taylor asked how much the three-bet amounted to before jamming all in, covering Stolzenfeld. Stolzenfeld snap called and the cards went on their backs.
Steven Stolzenfeld: A♦10♦
John Taylor: A♠K♥
There was a good chance the tournament would have to be prepared for a heads up battle, but Stolzenfeld paired his ten on the turn when the board ran out 6♣4♣7♠10♣Q♣. His rail cheered while Taylor shrugged his shoulders and paid Stolzenfeld what he was due.
The tables have now turned as Stolzenfeld holds the chip lead while Taylor has the least chips of the three players left.
