After spending part of the day as the short stack, Taylor Paur has successfully rebuilt his stack and is now pushing the two million chip mark.
In a recent hand, Paur limped from the small blind after Sampo Ryynanen limped from the button. Phil Long checked the big blind and the trio saw a flop.
The flop came and action was checked to Ryynanen, who bet 60,000. Paur was the only caller before the was dealt on the turn.
Ryynanen fired another 80,000 after Paur checked, and Paur then called again.
On the river, Paur checked again, but Ryynanen dodged Paur's trap by checking.
Paur showed for a full house to take down the pot and put Ryynanen on the short stack.
Kijoon Park made it to 80,000 from the button and Michael Chow raised to 290,000. Taylor Paur called and Park folded.
They both asked for one card, and after a check from Chow, Paur took a lot of chips, to make a 900,000 bet. Chow thought about that situation for a moment, before folding his hand.
With approximately 400,000 already in the pot on fifth street as the big bet rounds began, Andre Akkari checked to Scott Bohlman who bet, showing a three-card low straight flush. Nick Guagenti then raised showing three to a low. After some deliberation, Akkari called with two hearts and two low cards. Bohlman also called and a huge pot was brewing.
On sixth street, action slowed down with all three players checking.
But on seventh, after Akkari checked, Bohlman bet again and was called by Guagenti. Akkari took his time before deciding to fold, showing , then tossing them to the muck.
Bohlman showed an eight-six for low, with no flush, despite his four up cards being spades.
Guagenti took the high half of the pot with trip sevens, as Akkari was left in the cold in this over 1,000,000 chip pot.
