Joseph McGowan called and they saw a flop of 9

9. McGowan checked, Taylor bet, McGowan raised, and Taylor called. They got the rest of the money in on the turn when the 6
fell.
McGowan showed A4 and was up against the 55 of Taylor.
McGowan was looking for an ace, a 6, or a diamond, but the 8
on the river was not what he was looking for and was eliminated in fourth place.
Jonathan Little Eliminated in Third Place ($73,218)
Shortly after McGowan’s elimination, a short stacked Jonathan Little got all his chips in the middle preflop with AQ against Brendan Taylor’s Q5.
The board ran out 52KJ6 and Taylor paired his five to take the pot and eliminate Little from the tournament. Little’s departure leaves Taylor with a massive 10-1 chip lead against Brendan Yu.
