jnoy

Niveau 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Tom Hall and Parker Talbot were heads-up on a board showing 2♥5♥4♦3♠ and the action on Talbot on the button.

The PokerStars Ambassador slid out a bet of 480,000 only to see Hall raise to 980,000. Talbot called to the 6♥ river.

Hall led out by moving all in, with Talbot quickly tossing in the call. Hall showed 6♣5♣ for a straight on the board after being counterfeited on the river. Talbot revealed A♠2♠, calling to a chop.

"How does that card come on the river?" asked Hall.

"That's a fair card," replied Talbot, as both players received half of the pot.

Niveau 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action folded around to Istvan Varga in the hijack who took a moment to count out his stack and consider his options.

"It looks like you're all in," Parker Talbot joked.

"I'm all in," Varga declared immediately after, pushing forward his stack of 755,000. Talbot called in the small blind to put Varga at risk.

Istvan Varga: A♦5♣
Parker Talbot: 8♣8♦

Both players caught a piece of the 8♠A♠3♥ flop, but Talbot's middle set left Varga drawing close to dead with top pair. The rest of the board ran out J♦A♣, giving Talbot a full house to best Varga's trip aces to take down a sizable pot.
