Michael Tait

We caught the action in the middle of the room with everything run out, stacks being count down, and SHRP favorite Michael Tait looking decidedly unhappy with aces sitting in front of him.

It was a three-way all-in with Tait holding aces against Js9c and 8h7h. He had the biggest stack and it was a good thing after the dealer ran the Jh9h2d3hJc board.

Tait’s aces immediately fell behind the flopped top two, dropped into third best on the flush giving turn, and the shortest stack saved his stack with the river boat.

Tait still held a workable stack of 45,000 but it could have been much more.
