Taylor Paur is sitting comfortably at the start of Day 3 in Event #18. Paur entered the day with a huge chip lead, holding nearly twice as many chips as his next closest competitor, Alexander Barlow.
Although Paur is a force to be reckoned with on the online felts, he faces a tough final 14 players including nine-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey, WSOP bracelet holder Daniel Idema, and WSOP Circuit legend Kyle Cartwright.
Before the day began we had an opportunity to chat with Paur about going into the final day as the chip leader.
You have nine WSOP cashes and two final tables. What would winning a bracelet mean to you?
It would be awesome just to close one out because I’ve come close but haven’t snagged one yet. It would be great just to get that monkey off my back just to know that yes, I am capable of winning a bracelet.
You sit atop the final 14 with a commanding chip lead. How will your play change today because of that?
As chip leader I will try to use that towards my advantage. I will definitely play more hands than if I was a shorter stack, so open my range a bit.
Who do you think is your toughest competitor?
Of course Phil Ivey is in the field; he’s the best. There are some other good players too but it’s Ivey. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t intimidated. He’s an intimidating character; he has the stare, plays aggressive, and has the name. He’s just a boss!
