Thomas 'raidershabsjays' Taylor moved all in from under the gun for his remaining 156,053 chips. It looked like he was going to get through, but RandyB0bandy was in the small blind and woke up to a monster, prompting him to call.

RandyB0bandy: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Taylor: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Taylor picked up some outs to make a straight, but two of them were in RandyB0bandy's hands.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river was the {2-Clubs}, sending Taylor to the rail.

Taylor has a few shots after qualifying multiple times, so he will definitely be one to watch in Montreal this coming week.
