Taylor Continues To Climb
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The action folded to Kenan Taylor in the cutoff who opened for 24,000 and only Mike Watson made the call in the big blind.
The flop fanned out J?9?4? and both players checked their options to the Q? turn. Watson checked again and Taylor bet out 36,000. Watson took a moment before tossing in chips for the call and the pair saw the 5? river.
Watson checked a third time and Taylor assembled a large sizing of 180,000. Watson went in the tank, but after close to 30 seconds, let his hand go and the pot was sent to the chip leader.
