Zimmer Sends 1G Into the Money

Written by Kyle M | May 25, 2026 6:32:07 AM

On the second hand of hand-for-hand, Kevin Taylor opened to 18,000 on 4K/8K/8K.

Taylor's open from the lojack was called by Georgie Tsydypov, Jolyne Thompson, and Geoff Zimmer in the cutoff, button, and big blind respectively.

The flop came Q♠T♣2♣. Zimmer checked and Taylor moved all-in for 86,000. Action folded back to Zimmer and he made the call.

Taylor: A♣6♣ (all-in)
Zimmer: A♠Q♥
Board: Q♠T♣2♣8♦2♠

Taylor needed a club to complete his flush draw, but he went unimproved on the 8♦ turn and 2♠ river. Taylor was eliminated on the bubble and the remaining 15 players are now in the money.

The final 10 players will advance to Monday's 3:00pm Day Two Restart.

With 113 entries from 1G, the $500K GTD Main Event's prize pool has generated $520,100. The prize pool will continue to grow with a morning turbo flight at 9:00.
