Another Come-From-Behind 3-Way All-In as Michael Stein Knocks Out Vinny Giuliano and Hans Taylor

Hans Taylor has gotten some big hands in the early levels here today, including some big pocket pairs, but the hands haven’t been working out for him, and he’s down to about a third of a starting stack.

Taylor moves all in from middle position, and tells the table he’s going to just keep on shoving every hand. He takes the blinds that hand.

The next hand, Taylor moves all in for 10,500, and Michael Stein calls from the hijack. Vinny Giuliano moves all in over the top from the small blind for about 26,000, and Stein thinks for a while before he calls, covering both players.

Here are their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Michael Stein:  
Vinny Giuliano:  
Hans Taylor:  

The board comes , and Stein pairs his queen on the flop, turns two pair, and rivers a full house to win the pot and get the second double-elimination of the tournament in the last 20 minutes.

Michael Stein  –  90,000  (450 bb)
Vinny Giuliano  –  Eliminated
Hans Taylor  –  Eliminated
