Talbot Secures Short-Stacked Double
An under-the-gun player had 2,000 committed to the pot, Diogo Cardoso also had 2,000 committed to the pot in middle position, and Parker "Tonkaaaa" Talbot was all in for 15,000 in the cutoff.
For an unknown reason, the floor had come over to the table to rule that the player in the big blind would have their hand dead and would not be able to participate in the pot. The under-the-gun player then folded, and Cardoso called.
Parker Talbot: 
Diogo Cardoso: 
The 
flop and 
turn left Talbot one card away from the double. Talbot was calling for a nine, along with fellow PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton, but the 
completed the board to secure Talbot's double.
The player in the big blind noted he would have won the hand, causing Talbot to congratulate the floor on their "great ruling" as he took the pot.
