Taylor Cracks Watkins' Big Slick

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Johnny Ambrosio opened the action with a raise to 2,400 and was called by Brian Taylor in the hijack. Sylvia Watkins was in the cutoff and three-bet all in for 11,400. Action folded back to Ambrosio and he let his hand go. Taylor then thought for some time before tossing in chips to call.

Sylvia Watkins: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Brian Taylor: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

Watkins was out in front and stayed there on the flop {9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. However, Taylor picked up four more outs to bring his total to 10. He hit one of them on the turn {7-Hearts}, giving him a pair of sevens and leaving Watkins in need of hitting an ace or queen to stay alive. She would not do so as the river fell {10-Clubs} and she was eliminated from the tournament.
