Sam Taylor Eliminated in 17th Place ($49,290)

Alex Keating raised it up to 50,000, and Sam Taylor moved all in for 242,000. It was back to Keating, who said it was a virtual coin flip for him. Eventually, he shook Taylor's hand, wished him luck, and made the call.

Keating: [Ah][10c]
Taylor: [As][7c]

It was a good call for Keating, who paired up on a [Jc][10s][9s] flop. Taylor could now catch an eight, and the [Ks] on the turn gave him some more outs. None of them came though, as the [2h] completed the board. With that, we are down to just 16 players.
