"That's the second biggest fold of my life," Parker Talbot said as he folded.
He was facing an all in bet for 97,000 into the pot of 100,000. Talbot had 174,000 behind.
The board read 
and Talbot was in the tank for more than a minute, so long that he called the clock on himself.
"You shoving ace-queen for value?" Talbot questioned his opponent.
"Show me if I fold?"
His opponent responded.
"Why'd you talk, now I'm even more confused."
He then called the clock and let the countdown go to zero. The dealer leaned over and scooped up his cards. His opponent didn't show, but Talbot showed the table .

Pavel Plesuv has been eliminated some time ago, having first lost the majority of his stack in a flip against Chi Zhang, while Jack Salter has taken the vacant seat and holds the biggest stack there now. Other notables on the same table feature 888poker ambassador Natalie Hof, Liwei Sun and Matas Cimbolas and it was the latter that got into a battle of the blinds with Kai Münster.
Picking up the action on the 
, Cimbolas bet 11,500 and Münster called to see the 
turn pair the board. Cimbolas slowed down and checked, which prompted Münster to bet 19,000. That was enough to rake in the pot for the German.

Julian Thomas min-raised to 8,000 from early position and Alexander Lakhov called from two seats over. Once the action was on Aaron Duczak, he moved all in for 99,500 out of the big blind and Thomas was sent into the think tank. Eventually Thomas folded and Lakhov called after very brief consideration.
Aaron Duczak:
Alexander Lakhov:
On the flop of 
, Duczak grabbed his iPad already and stood up from his chair while Lakhov said "please don't!" A blank on the turn changed nothing, but Lakhov indeed improved to a flush with the river to eliminate Duczak before the money.
