Thomas Taylor Eliminated in 9th Place ($24,891)
Niveau 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Gheorghe Butuc raised from under the gun and when it folded around to the short stacked Thomas Taylor, he went all in for his remaining 800,000 in chips. It folded back around to Butuc and he called.
Thomas Taylor: K♣Q♠10♦10♠
Gheorghe Butuc: A♣A♦8♠5♦
The flop dashed Taylor's hopes as it came 5♣A♥6♦, his only chance was running Broadway cards and they couldn't be a diamond. Stephen Nahm chimed in, "Not even a sweat! Doink!" as he'd already had a couple beers.
The turn was the 2♠ and the river bricked the 7♠, awarding the pot to Butuc.
There were plenty of times the last few days where it felt like a rowdy party, but Taylor was always all business; focused and determined.
