Big Stax 1500 (Day 1C): 400k Pot

Level 12 (Blinds 1,000/2,000/300)
Total Entries: 456

Joe Taormina

The action was picked up going to the flop, with Joe Taormina and Tyler Gaston in a blind v. blind situation.  Gaston was flatting a 50,000 bet pre (not sure if it was three or four-bet), and both players saw a flop of Q♣ 3 3♣.  With the pot the size it was, it was surprising to see the action go check-check on the flop.  After the A on the turn, Taormina fired out a bet of 55,000 which was called by Gaston after some thought.  Taormina shoved the river after the 7♠ fell, and Gaston would once again be deep in thought.  After a few minutes Gaston would make the call of 103,100, and see Joe turn over QQ (flopped full house).

Joe Taormina - 480,000
Tyler Gaston - 70,000
