: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Parker Talbot opened to 5,500 in middle position and Viktor Ustimov three-bet to 14,000 on his left. The action folded back to Talbot who made the call. the flop came 
and Talbot check-called a bet of 12,500 from Ustimov.
The turn was the 
and both players checked to the 
on the river. Two more checks and Talbot turned over 
. Ustimov tabled 
for a better kicker to scoop the pot.
"Diamonds too," Matthias Eibinger noted from across the table. "Never lucky."
