Taylor Takes More from Nitsche

Those double-ups by James Taylor we were referring to earlier both came at the expense of Dominik Nitsche. In one case he was behind on the turn and caught a card to win, then Taylor picked up pocket aces to score still more off of Nitsche.

The pair were at it again just now with Nitsche opening for 16,000 from under the gun and getting two callers including Taylor from middle position. The flop came {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, and when Nitsche continued for 17,000, Taylor raised to 55,000, forcing out the third player.

Nitsche responded by shoving all in, and Taylor called, tabling {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} to Nitsche's {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and river the {5-Spades}, and Taylor grabs still more chips at Nitsche's expense.

"Look at you," said Matthew Mazzeo from across the table to Taylor. "What a comeback."
