Taylor Cracks Watson's Jacks
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mike Watson opened for 27,000 from the cutoff, Johan Schultz-Pedersen called from the button, then Guy Taylor jammed for 329,000 from the big blind. Watson wasted no time getting his chips in and Schultz-Pedersen bowed out.
Guy Taylor: 
Mike Watson: 
Watson's pair was ahead, but that lead was short-lived as the flop fell 
giving Taylor a pair of kings and the lead. The board finished 
and Taylor doubled up, leaving Watson short.
