turn for 180,000, only Taylor called.
On the 
river, Wakeman checked and reluctantly called a bet of 75,000 by Taylor. He was shown the 
for trips eights and that won the pot for Taylor.
Wakeman then opened to 80,000 in the cutoff and Taylor came along from the button. Lee three-bet to 400,000 in the big blind and it was Taylor who stuck around. The 
flop went check, check, and Lee check-called a bet of 275,000 on the 
turn. No betting action followed on the 
river and Taylor showed 
for aces up, Lee mucked
