Limit Hold'em

Anthony Ribeiro raised from the hijack and Thomas Taylor defended his big blind.

The A♥A♦Q♣ flop checked through to the 3♥ turn which saw Taylor lead. Ribeiro then announced a raise which immediately raised an eyebrow from Taylor, who called.

On the 10♥ river, Taylor checked it over to Ribeiro who bet and Taylor snapped it off. Ribeiro tabled K♥J♠ for a rivered straight as he was likely drawing to just four outs and Taylor could only frustratingly muck as the rail went wild for the Brazilian.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Thomas Taylor raised to 150,000 in the hijack, with David Bach defending his big blind to the 10♥6♠5♠ flop.

Bach checked to Thomas, who started to slide out a bet of 390,000. Bach folded before the chips reached the middle, with Thomas claiming the pot.

Two hands later, Thomas checked his big blind option after Fu Wong and Robert Wells limped. Wong checked the 4♦Q♥6♠ flop from the small blind, and Thomas fired 265,000.

Wells quickly folded, while Wong followed by sending his cards to the dealer and Thomas took down another pot.
