It's strike three for Parker Talbot and he is one of the first players eliminated on Day 2.
He fired three bullets yesterday with his third one coming near the end of the day. He was able to double up and come into today with 24 big blinds.
Talbot shared with PokerNews that he got it all-in with on a board. His top two pair weren't looking that good when his opponent called with for a straight.
Unfortunately for Talbot, he was unable to hit any of his outs to improve his hand to a full house. We will likely still see Talbot but on the sidelines in the commentary booth during the next two days.
