Talbot Four-Bets, Labani Shoves Next Hand

Matt Warburton

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Parker Talbot raised to 2,400 from late position and Hael Al Labani three-bet to 6,500 from the button. Action folded back around to Talbot, who pushed a stack of blues into the middle to put his opponent all in. Labani quickly folded his hand.

"Why are you trying to three-bet bluff me?" asked Talbot. "I'm just sitting here drinking my wine, having a nice time."

"I didn't bluff," replied Labani. "I had good but not very good. Next time, I'll just shove."

Labani then put his money where his mouth was the very next hand. He made a huge shove all in from late position for 34,000. Elio Berreby moved all in from the button with slightly more and the two players turned their cards.

Hael Al Labani: A?9?
Elio Berreby: A?Q?

The board ran out 2?6?8?10?6?. Berreby held with the pair of sixes on board and his ace-queen high to win the pot. Al Labani was eliminated from the tournament.
