Drinks and Double-Ups
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
"Don't tell anyone that we're drinking," Esther Taylor said as PokerNews arrived at the table. Her and Florian Ribouchon had drinks in their hand, albeit Ribouchon spilled half of his on the table already.
Meanwhile, Vadzim Lipauka shipped all in for 52,000 in early position and Taylor squeezed her cards and found a holding to stick in the last of her 48,000 chips.
Esther Taylor: Q♥Q♣
Vadzim Lipauka: A♣J♠
The board ran out K♠9♥5♣7♣Q♠ and Taylor improved to a set of queens for a double up.
"Do you wanna buy out?" Taylor asked Ribouchon as the two players have a $200 last longer bet going on. "You already got 2%."
"You gave him 2%?" Benjamin Ludlow inquired.
"We swapped because we have a last longer. The rest of you are all duds," Taylor joked.
