Taylor Proves Abrams Theory

Level 14 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Aloisio Dourado opened in the hijack and Esther "E-Tay" Taylor three-bet in the cutoff. Michael Moncek four-bet on the button and both Dourado and Taylor called.

Dourado drew two while Taylor and Moncek both drew one. Action checked around to Moncek who bet and both of his opponents called.

Everyone drew one on the second draw and action checked around to Moncek who bet, earning a quick call from Dourado while Taylor raised. Both Moncek and Dourado called the raise.

Moncek and Dourado both drew one while Taylor stood pat. Dourado checked over to Taylor who bet and both of her opponents folded.

"I have a theory about Badugi," table mate Scott Abrams said. "It isn't the raiser or the four-bettor who wins. It's always the three-bettor."
