Taylor Makes Aces Up on Vitch; No Min-Cashes For Kenney

Level 17

Stud Hi-Lo

Esther Taylor: XxXx/7AQA/Xx
Christopher Vitch: XxXx/KAJ8/Xx

To kill off the dead time in between hands, the table was discussing Bryn Kenney's record in high-roller Triton Series events.

"I had my first losing trip ever in Montenegro two months ago," Kenney said.

"Everyone feels really bad for you, that you didn't win $17 million," Albert Daher joked.

"Know what my average cash is? $2.8 million. That's insane," Kenney added.

On the next hand, Christopher Vitch completed and Esther Taylor called.

Taylor bet on fourth street and Vitch called. Vitch opened the betting on fifth and Taylor called before she made aces on sixth.

Taylor then bet and Vitch called. He also called on seventh and Taylor showed 764 for aces and sevens to win the pot.
