Papola Trumps Taylor

[user198205]

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Jeffrey Papola is continuing to motor along as the field dwindles down.

Papola raised to 12,000 preflop, Anders Taylor re-raised to 30,000, Papola re-raised to 60,000, and Taylor re-raised again, this time to 95,000. Papola decided that the fun and games were over as he declared "all in" and Taylor called.

Papola: {9-Spades} {9-Clubs}
Taylor: {q-Diamonds} {q-Clubs}

Taylor is no stranger to high pressure situations as he came in 3rd place in last years $1,500 PLO8 WSOP tournament.

Through the turn Taylor was set to double up as the board read {j-Spades} {7-Hearts} {4-Spades} {k-Spades} but then a devastating {9-Hearts} hit on the river giving Papola a set and the win. Taylor was visibly crushed and Papola amassed a mountain of chips.
