Taylor Battling With Her Short Stack
Level 21
: Limits 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
Seven Card Stud
David "Bakes" Baker: XxXx/6♥A♥J♦
Esther Taylor: XxXx/A♠2♥3♣ - folded fifth street
As limits continue to rise, the various short stacks around the room grow more in peril.
Among them is Esther Taylor, who in a recent round of stud raised a couple of pots in an attempt to grab some antes. She was partially successful, although had to abandon one of these missions after resistance from David "Bakes" Baker.
Baker defended his bring-in to a completion from Taylor, and then led out when he picked up an ace of his own on fourth street. Taylor called that street, but couldn't call another bet on fifth from Baker, preserving her roughly 4 1/2 big bets remaining.
