Big O

Thomas Taylor raised to 60,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 120,000 by Lamont Davis on the button. Action folded back to Taylor, who called.

Taylor bet enough to put Davis all in for his remaining short stack on the 2♥3♠4♠ flop and Davis called all in.

Lamont Davis: A♥J♣10♦8♠4♥ All in
Thomas Taylor: A♦9♣9♦7♥3♥

The K♣3♣ runout left Taylor best with nines and a seven-low and Davis was eliminated just shy of Day 3.

At another table, Ryan Laplante was also eliminated.
