Poker Hall of Famer Linda Johnson, affectionately known as the "First Lady of Poker", has been paving the way for women to compete in the male-dominated world of poker for decades and is off to a good start.
In a recent hand, Ian Steinman opened from middle position and was called by Johnson in the hijack. Makoto Nagino three-bet on the button and was called by Scott Carlson in the big blind as well as Steinman and Johnson for a four-way pot.
Action checked through on the 3♥10♦A♣ flop and it was checked to Johnson again on the 10♥ turn. Johnson made a bet and all of her opponents quickly folded in turn.
