Nordstrand Flushes Out on Taylor
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
After an early limp, Erik Nordstrand raised to 180,000 in middle position. Thomas Taylor reraised to 640,000 in the cutoff and the action folded back to Nordstrand who just called. The flop came Q♥10♣9♥ and Nordstrand went all in for his last 45,000 chips which Taylor called.
Erik Nordstrand: 10♥10♦8♦7♥
Thomas Taylor: K♠K♦Q♠Q♦
Both players flopped a set but it was Taylor with the better of the two. Nordstrand had straight and flush draws to hit but the 8♠ was not it. However, the 5♥ on the river gave Nordstrand a flush and he doubled through Taylor.
