Hands 85-89: Time to Make Your Move

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #85: With a dead button because Taylor was late from break, Mutke opened for 100,000 in the cutoff, and Polychronopoulos called to see the {q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades} fall on the flop. Polychronopoulos then check-called a bet of 125,000, and both players checked the turn ({8-Diamonds}) and river ({7-Spades}). Polychronopoulos opened up {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for one pair, and that was good enough to earn the pot.

Hand #86: Taylor opened for 110,000, Polychronopoulos three-bet to 260,000, and Taylor relented. Polychronopoulos flashed the {A-Spades}{9-Clubs} as he dragged the pot.

Hand #87: Mutke opened to 100,000 from under the gun, Taylor popped it to 230,000, and Mutke made the call. A flop of {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Spades} hit the board, and both players checked, as they did on the {8-Clubs} turn. When the {2-Clubs} completed the board on the river, Mutke led out for 175,000, and Taylor called with his {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}, which was best over Mutke's {K-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

Hand #88: Taylor opened for 110,000 from under the gun, and Mutke called to defend his big blind. An action flop of {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} was rolled out, and Taylor led out for 125,000, a bet which Mutke called. The turn came {3-Spades}, and Taylor cut out enough chips for a bet of 300,000. Mutke pondered his options for over a minute, before finally moving his last 1.15 million into the middle.

Hand #89: Cada opened for 110,000 holding the button, and Taylor called to see a flop of {9-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. After checkes around, the {4-Clubs} dropped in on the turn, and Taylor led out for 125,000. Cada called, and on the {3-Diamonds} river, Taylor fired again, this time for 260,000. Cada couldn't stand the heat, and his hand went to the muck.
