After a promising start to the day, Esther Taylor's tournament took a rocky turn the last few hours. She righted things with one hand. Four players took a limped flop of {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

. Action passed to a player in middle position, who opened for 1,000. Taylor check-raised to 5,000. That folded everyone back to the player who opened the action. The chips were soon in the middle. Taylor's opponent showed {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

; he was far behind Taylor's flopped straight with flush and straight flush re-draw {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{8-Spades}

. The board ran out {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

to give Taylor a double-up to 30,000.
