Stuart Taylor is definitely the new tournament captain, after taking out Emmanuel Francoeur. When a short stack went all-in for 30K, he just called from the button, and Emmanuel made it 75K, in the hopes of isolating the initial raiser. But he was in for an unpleasant surprise, as Stuart came over the top for almost 200K all-in. Emmanuel tanked for a while, and decided to call with nines, only to realize that Stuart had set a major trap, and that he was the bait. Stuart’s aces held smoothly, and he even added to his stack since then, sky-rocketing his chips to over 500K.
