Showdown
Taylor:
Watkinson:
The flop brought the nuts for Taylor, starting right off with an eight-high straight. Watkinson had made his low, but Taylor was getting greedy, calling for a "three!" to counterfeit his opponent. The turn was not much change, but it did give Watkinson a few scoop outs to work with. The river was a disaster, though, and Taylor's wish was thusly granted. Watkinson's hand was invalid after the last card, and he has been sent off in 21st place.
