Up and Down for E-Tay
There was a raise to 1,500 in early position which was called by David Cowling on the button and Esther Taylor in the big blind. The flop came 8?7?2? and the action checked to Cowling who bet 1,900 and only Taylor called.
The turn brought the 5? and Taylor led out with a bet of 6,800. Cowling called and the 4? completed the board. Taylor splashed in another bet of 11,000 and Cowling was forced to fold. Taylor opted to show the 9? as she raked in the pot.
On the next hand, Tony Gregg raised to 1,000 on the button and Taylor just called from the small blind. Assad Kamran three-bet to 10,500 from the big blind and Gregg folded. Taylor stuck in a bunch of chips and Kamran called off his stack of 28,500.
Taylor turned over A?Q? and was flipping against the 10?10? of Kamran. The board ran out 9?7?6?4?7? and Kamran's pocket pair held on to double up through Taylor.
