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.
