Taylor Sends Friedman into the Blender
Big O
Picking action up on a 
flop, James Chen checked in the small blind and Esther Taylor tossed out a bet of 10,000, saying "small, small."
Adam Friedman called in the cutoff and Chen called as well.
On the 
turn, Chen checked again, and along with another declaration of "small, small," Taylor bet 50,000. Friedman called again, but Chen folded.
The 
came on the river, and Taylor was no longer betting "small," as she put forward a bet of 105,000.
Friedman then went deep into the tank, with Taylor teasing him, by pretending to toss her cards at him, singing, and saying amongst other things "after all these years, you owe me."
Friedman apologized to the table for his lengthy contemplation then glanced at Taylor, who playfully said "Don't look at me, I'm always smiling. You can't get a read on me!"
After a couple of playful bursts of "c'mon!" from Taylor, Friedman begrudgingly folded, suggesting that he folded a king-high flush.
Taylor flashed the 
and tossed her cards to the dealer as the pot was pushed her way.
