Taylor Paur

Garrett Greer opened with a raise in middle middle position, Matt Affleck called in the cutoff, and Taylor Paur defended his big blind to create three-way action.

The flop was JdJs2h. It checked to Affleck, who continued for 35,000, and only Paur called. Both players checked through the 6c turn, and the river was the Ac. Paur led for 36,000, and Affleck raised to 146,000 effective to put his opponent to the decision for the rest of his stack.

There was little to decide; Paur double-checked his hole cards and quickly called to put himself at risk for that amount.

Paur: AsAh (aces full)
Affleck: TcJc (trip jacks)

It was quite a cooler for Affleck, but he still appears to be the overall chip leader despite granting Paur that double-up.

Taylor Paur – 440,000 (44 bb)
Matt Affleck – 1,405,000 (140 bb)
