Esther Taylor has made history by becoming the second-ever woman to cash the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, after making the final table of one of the summer's showpiece events.
The American, who has over $2.3 million in total live earnings, joins trailblazer Melissa Burr as the second female player to cash the event, eleven years on from Burr's 7th-place finish in 2014 for $165,435.
Taylor, who has already locked up a minimum of $142,720 by making the final eight, enters the final table on the penultimate day of the event seventh in chips with 1,870,000.
