Hand #156: Taylor Paur made it 80,000 from the button and he received a call from Tai Nguyen who was seated in the big blind. Nguyen checked to Paur on {7-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Paur made a 85,000 continuation-bet. Nguyen looked at his chips and then cut out 210,000 for a raise. Paur moved him all in and Nguyen immediately made the call for his 930,000 total stack.

Paur showed his {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and was in front against Nguyen's {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}. Both had a flush draw but Paur's was just a little better. The {J-Spades} on the turn gave both players a flush but Paur's wasn't sure to be seating heads up yet. The {8-Spades} could still ruin the party and for a second the rail and players thought it hit the river. The {6-Spades} was close, but no cigar, for Nguyen who exited in third place.

The Rail Getting Rowdy

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

For some reason there's a lot of English players on the rail supporting Taylor Paur. Especially Sam Grafton is making a party out of things but not all of the rail and players seem to have as much fun as him. Some of the fans from other players are complaining and the tournament director has asked the rail to be quiet for a couple of times now. Let's see where this goes.
