Simard Sends Taylor Packing

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
David Simard
David Simard

David Simard opened to 9,000 from the cutoff and was called by the small blind and Christian Taylor in the big blind.

Action checked to Simard on the {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and he continued for 22,000. The small blind folded and Taylor then check-raised to 85,000 total.

Simard thought it over and slid out a re-raise to 222,000. Taylor called all in for slightly less than 200,000 and hands were revealed.

David Simard: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Christian Taylor: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}

Both players held a flush draw, but Simard was ahead with his ace.

The {5-Diamonds} turn improved Simard to two pair and the {2-Hearts} river sealed Taylor's elimination.

Simard is the current chip leader with about 500,000 in chips.
