Both Darryll Fish and Taylor Black are demonstrating their bona fides to take this prestigious title, but Taylor just made an in-hand course correction play that will likely change the whole tournament.
Darryll held while Taylor was playing the . Preflop Taylor had made a big 3bet and Fish called, and by the river the pot was 620M – and both players had approximately a pot-sized bet behind. On a board reading , Taylor surveyed the scene and quickly checked, seemingly giving up on the hand. Darryll had other ideas, though – he be 260M… only to find an amazing check-shove from Taylor! Fish had the 100% beside his name… but had to let it go – and nevertheless was forced to fold and watch Taylor stack a monster pot – one that he had already effectively ceded to Darryl.
Taylor Black is once again the big chip leader in the tournament and with blinds growing quickly has to be the prohibitive favourite.
