Robert Doubles Through Talvitie
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With 17,000 in the middle and the flop showing 
, Elias Talvitie check-raised to 20,000 when facing a bet of table neighbor Vincent Robert and the latter used one time bank extension before putting in calling chips.
After the 
turn, Talvitie moved all in and Robert was facing a tough decision. He had three time banks remaining and used all of them before tossing in a single chip for the call.
Vincent Robert: 
Elias Talvitie: 
Robert was narrowly ahead with his top pair and top kicker, but had to dodge a lof of outs. The 
on the river gave Talvitie an inferior pair and Robert doubled for 64,000.
