Distenfeld Loses Chunks Against Taylor

Level 9

Omaha Hi-Lo

Esther Taylor raised her button, and Gershon Distenfeld defended in the big blind. Taylor bet the 295 flop, seeing her opponent check-call.

Distenfeld then check-raised when Taylor fired again on the 9 turn, but Taylor was not done and put in a third bet. Distenfeld called to the K river, which they checked to showdown.

Distenfeld tabled A752 for a rivered flush, but it was no good against he 9432 of Taylor, who took in the chips with her full house.

"You can quote me, I will not be picking this game when she's at my table," Matt Glantz stated as he called Taylor the best female Omaha hi-lo player in the world.
