Level 37
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Jonah Labranche had just eliminated another player when he found himself in the big blind and called a 1,600,000 open from Samuel Taylor on the button.
The 4♠K♥7♣ flop saw Labranche check, Taylor bet 2,000,000 and Labranche call.
The 2♥ was turned and Labranche check-called after Taylor bet 6,300,000.
On the Q♠ river, Labranche check-called Taylor's jam for around 15,000,000, the remainder of his stack. Labranche made a quick call.
Samuel Taylor: K♦Q♥
Jonah Labranche: 2♠2♣
Taylor flashed his cards after seeing Labranche was ahead with a set of deuces against his top two pair. The dealer counted out the stacks to ensure Taylor was covered, and he was let to walk away from the table.
