These players are set up in the white section of the pavilion. Because the Brasilia room is full, we will be set up in here and will have limited updated from the pavilion, but we will be sure to check periodically and update how these guys are doing.

Paur Aggressive Early

Nível 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

Taylor Paur just won his first WSOP bracelet early last week, and he's here in the shootout trying to win another. In a recent hand we caught, the player under the gun made it 175, and Paur raised it up to 450 in middle position. It got back to his opponent, and after about 45 seconds of thinking, he kicked his hand in.

While this was just a small pot, it's a good insight to Paur's play so far at the table, as he has already nearly doubled his starting stack, sitting on 8,200.
