Samuel Taylor (New York, NY)

#brownmagic hasn't worked either here at the Card Player Poker Tour as Turan Gulati was attempting to try out another theory here in the CPPT Main Event after our "Theory of Due" came crashing down with Chris Leong's elimination from last night's Event 9 Final Table.

All theories aside, it was a massive pot right before the break that has moved Samuel Taylor (New York, NY) up the leaderboard and has sent Turan to the rail.

The action was picked up on a board of [6d][10d][Qd][Ks] with Turan checking to the in position Taylor.

Taylor would fire out a bet of 6,000 and Turan would move all-in for just under 20,000 chips.

Taylor would snap call and table [2d][4d] flopping a small but powerful flush, leaving Turan looking for help on the river as he held [Kh][Qc].

The [9d] bricked on the river, seeing Taylor's flopped flush unnecessarily improve on the river, eliminating Turan right before the end of Level 9.

Taylor would quickly head out on break after the hand and is now back looking to improve his stack even further while also looking to improve on his last Foxwoods Championship finish, a 7th place effort in December's Mega Stack Challenge.

Taylor's been on a bit of a roll as of late, bookending that championship run with a outright win at the Borgata Fall Poker Open, his first major tournament victory of his career and a podium finish in a $1,000 Borgata Winter Poker Open Six Max event, with all three major tournament finishes earning him just over $60,000.

Those scores have moved Taylor close to the $500,000 mark in terms of career live earnings and he looks to be poised for another big finish here in the CPPT Main Event as he's one of the bigger stacks in the room with well over double the chip average.
