Parker ''Tonkaaaa'' Talbot raised to 3,960 from early position and ''Pigaoo'' defended his big blind. They then check-called Talbot's 2,655 continuation-bet on the 10?2?K? flop before the 5? turn was dealt.

The 4? river saw ''Pigaoo'' check for a third time, and Talbot responded with a huge overbet worth 72,905 chips. This happened to be ''Pigaoo''s remaining chips, and they decided to make put them all at risk by making the call.

Talbot showed 9?7? for a flush, and the bare top pair of ''Pigaoo'' with K?9? was no match.
