The poker world received sad news on Thursday, June 15 with the passing of Texas poker legend Carolyn Taylor, who was perhaps best known for running a regular poker game in the Lonestar State for more than 50 years.
Affectionately known as “The First Woman in Texas Poker," Taylor’s game was regularly visited by such legends as Cowboy Wolford (her father-in-law), Amarillo Slim Preston, Bill Smith, Sailor Roberts, Bob Hooks, TJ Cloutier, and even country music icon Willie Nelson.
