Omaha Hi-Lo

Bryn Kenney raised from the cutoff with A♠Q♠6♥4♥ and was called by Esther Taylor from the button, who held A♥10♦5♣4♣.

Taylor made a flush on the 10♣8♣3♣ flop to lock up one half of the pot. She called a bet, which brought in the 5♥ turn. Kenney and Taylor both made the same low, which gave Taylor 75% of the pot. Kenney check-called Taylor's bet.

The 6♣ river saw Kenney check-call a bet, where he only received one quarter of the pot. Taylor then moved into second place, narrowly edging Kenney in the counts.

Esther Taylor raised with K♥K♦6♦5♥ from under the gun, with Andrew Yeh calling on the button holding A♠6♠3♦2♣. Bryn Kenney also came along with A♦K♣J♠3♣ in the big blind.

Kenney and Taylor checked the 9♥2♦6♥ flop, with Yeh firing a bet. Both players called to the J♣ turn, where Kenney checked again.

Taylor bet, and Yeh called before Kenney did the same. The Q♥ river locked up the entire pot for Taylor, who followed Kenney with one last check.

Yeh slid out a bet, and Kenney folded before Taylor called to show down her flush with no low available. Yeh saw the bad news, sliding his cards into the muck.

"I'm never bluffing," said Mizrachi as Taylor mulled over her options.

"Prove it," dared Mizrachi. "I might," responded Taylor before

In the end Taylor folded, and Mizrachi took in the pot.
