Taylor Survives Scare as Bubble Looms
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Viktor Ustimov raised to 6,000 from the hijack and Guy Taylor three-bet the big blind to 28,000. Ustimov then shoved, and Taylor called off his stack of a little under 150,000.
Guy Taylor: A?K?
Viktor Ustimov: A?K?
Taylor was looking to use his extra equity to score a double-up, but instead was left staring elimination in the face as the flop of 8?6?10? gave Ustimov a flush draw. Taylor faded the heart on the 7? turn and the J? river, which kept him alive with twelve eliminations to go until the money bubble bursts.
