E-Tay Stayin' Alive

Feelin' a little better now
Feelin' a little better now
In a multi-way pot postflop, the board read {9-Hearts} {6-Spades} {3-Spades}. Esther "E-Tay" Taylor checked, Rafe Furst checked, the next player checked, "Hollywood" Dave Stann checked, a fifth player checked, and then the button player bet out. E-Tay called, as did Rafe Furst and the next player. Stann and the other player mucked.

The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and E-Tay fired out a bet. Rafe Furst raised and the button called. E-Tay called all in for a total of 2,200, creating a side pot of 400 between Furst and the button.

The river brought the {A-Diamonds} and the two remaining active players checked as E-Tay stood away from her seat to watch the action.

The button player showed {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {2-Spades} for a wheel and Furst mucked to give him the side pot. E-Tay went back to her seat and revealed {K-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} for a seven-high straight to scoop the high pot.

Despite being down to her last couple thousand, E-Tay is now up to 7,000.
