Taylor Doubles to Leave Arbaugh Short
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 2♣J♣5♣4♥ and 190,000 in the middle, Brian Arbaugh checked from the big blind and Esther Taylor bet 90,000 from the hijack. Arbaugh called.
Arbaugh checked the 10♥ river and Taylor bet 580,000, leaving just 35,000 behind. Arbaugh called again.
Arbaugh had top pair with K♠J♥ but Taylor had the nut-flush with A♣6♣ to effectively double up through Arbaugh, who was left with under ten big blinds.
