Croteau Decimates Taylor
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Gabriel Croteau opened to 160,000 from the hijack and Stuart Taylor defended from the big blind.
The flop came A?8?3?/ Taylor checked, Croteau bet 110,000, Taylor check-raised to 350,000 and Croteau called.
Both players checked the 8? turn leading to the 2? river. Taylor bet 400,000 and Croteau snap-called.
"You win" Taylor told his opponent before mucking his hand. Although he didn't have to Croteau showed A?J? for aces up and dragged in another massive pot while Taylor was left with just under six big blinds.
