Talbot Survives on the River
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Before the hand, Naim Ouachekradi returned to the table and joked about whether he could reenter.
"Fifty thousand," Parker Talbot told him.
"I would reenter for €50,000. That's a good deal," Jesse Lonis added.
The table then folded around to Niklas Bauer who limped in from the small blind. Talbot then shoved for 1,400,000 and Bauer snap-called.
Parker Talbot: A?5?
Niklas Bauer: Q?Q?
Bauer had set a trap for Talbot who was far behind and at risk for his tournament life as the flop came 7?4?8?. The turn was the 3?, but the 6? river gave Talbot a straight to double up.
"No justice in tournament life," Talbot said as he took in the pot.
