Taylor Sends Cate to the Hall

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 18 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

With about 42,000 in the pot and the board reading the action was on Cate Hall for her tournament life. Hall had 31,900 remaining and Taylor Paur had bet enough to cover her stack.

After agonizing over the decision for what felt like a few minutes, Hall called and saw the bad news when Paur tabled . Hall immediately mixed her hole cards into the muck with a bit of a smile and congratulated Paur by acknowledging the great match they just had and wishing him luck.
