His first significant cash of $ 28,132 came in August 2015 at the Sky Poker 6-Max UK Poker Championships, Nottingham placing second at the High Roller Event. His hometown would bring more luck as Taylor would pick up a win at the Dusk Till Dawn 200 in March 2017 racking up another 20K plus prize money. In 2018, he would claim his biggest career live cash of $ 69,029 finishing third at the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour London. Taylor would find more success at this tournament in 2019, 2020 and 2022, clinching a major win at the Mystery Bounty Event of a special GUKPT Goliath 10th Anniversary edition with a payoff of $46,346.
