Taylor Rivers a Scoop

Level 20

Omaha Hi-Lo

Thomas Taylor raised under the gun and Chris Hunichen called in the big blind.

On the AA6 flop, Hunichen check-called a bet from Taylor.

Hunichen would check-call again on the 4 turn before he faced another bet on the 3 river.

Hunichen went into a small tank and he lamented, "I'm just never good here," but he flicked in the call anyway.

Taylor revealed A732 for a full house and live deuce, and Hunichen mucked, saying he had the better ace until Thomas filled up.
