Taylor Stays in the Game
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Simeon Tsonev raised to 125,000 in early position and Thomas Taylor defended from the big blind. The flop fell 9♠8♠4♥ and Taylor shoved all in for 220,000. Tsonev quickly called and the cards were tabled.
Thomas Taylor: 9♥7♠7♣6♦
Simeon Tsonev: K♠K♣5♥5♦
Tsonev was still in the lead but Taylor picked up a straight draw with a pair. The 2♠ on the turn changed nothing but the 7♥ on the river gave Taylor a set of sevens to double up.
