Blinds: 10,000/20,000

Action started with Jimmy Gorham raising to 40,000. In the small blind, Taylor Paur moved all in for 240,000. In the big blind, Wesley Haymond looked at his hand, and after counting out his stack, he moved all in over the top.

“Wow,” said Gorham as he asked the dealer for a count on Haymond’s stack. 555,000 was the total, and after about a minute of thought, Gorham announced call to make one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far.

Gorham: [10s][10h]
Paur: [7s][7d]
Haymond: [Ah][Ad]

The drama was mostly killed after a third ace popped in the window of the [Ac][9h][3s] flop. The [Qs] turn ended the hand, and to rub a bit of salt in Gorham’s wounds, the river [10c] gave him a useless set.

Haymond is right back up with the leaders now with a stack of over 1,300,000, Gorham is down to a million, and the dangerous Taylor Paur is now on the rail.
