Taylor Saved on the River
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 60 ante
It's been pretty slow going since the elimination of Viatcheslav Ortynskiy; in fact, min-raises seem to be enough to pick up the blinds. After about six hands of not seeing a flop, Roch Cousineau opened for 38,000 from middle position only to have, Paul Taylor three-bet the pot from the cutoff. The button and blinds both got out of the way and Cousineau moved in. Taylor called off and the cards were turned up:
Showdown
Taylor:
Cousineau:
The flop kept Cousineau ahead with aces and tens, but the turn did give Taylor low outs. Lucky for him, the river was one of them and he took down half the pot to stay alive.
