Taylor Flops Set; Eliminates Resevskis
Niveau 4
: 100/200, 200 ante
Jad Sanhaji opened up the action with a raise to 700 from early position and Kalidou Sow called to his direct left. Next to Sow, Andris Resevskis three-bet to 2,600, Guy Taylor cold-called without much hesitation from the big blind, Sanhaji jumped in and Sow, getting a fantastic price, closed the action and came along.
On a 
flop, it got checked to Resevskis who bet 5,100. Taylor check-raised to 15,000, Sanhaji and Sow folded, Resevskis shoved around 25,000 after some thought and Taylor snap-called it off.
Andris Resevskis: 
Guv Taylor: 
Taylor had outflopped the Latvian and ended his first attempt after the board ran out 
. Resevskis has until the start of level 10 if he decides to reenter himself back into it.
