Talbot Bluffs, Gets Taken Out

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Parker Talbot
Parker Talbot

Parker Talbot was in position in a heads-up pot against Ambreen Mirza on a flop of {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

Mirza checked on the flop and Talbot bet 1,700. Mirza check-raised to 6,500 and Talbot called. Mirza sized up to 11,000 on the {8-Spades} turn and Talbot again called.

The river brought the {4-Spades} and Mirza checked. Talbot bet out most of his stack to leave himself with just 400 and Mirza called. Talbot tabled {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for missed clubs and Mirza showed {a-Clubs}{5-Spades} to win the pot with two pair.

"A chip and a chair, right? How about four chips and a chair?" said Talbot, who had been saved from elimination in the previous level by hitting a one-outer.

Talbot managed to triple up the next hand after getting it in with pocket tens and then got it in in a heads-up pot against Dominik Nitsche.

Parker Talbot: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Dominik Nitsche: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Talbot couldn't be saved as the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to mark the Team PokerStars Pro's elimination late in the day.

Alejandro "Papo MC" Lococo

Jeffrey Reardon raised to 2,200 and got calls from Orpen Kisacikoglu and Alejandro Lococo.

Lococo checked out of the blinds as the flop came {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and the other two players also both checked. The turn was the {k-Spades} and Lococo check-called 2,600 from Reardon, with Kisacikoglu folding.

The river was the {k-Diamonds} and Lococo immediately shoved for around 6,000. Reardon snap-called.

Lococo showed {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for trip kings, but was outkicked by Reardon's {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and was eliminated.

Double Elimination for Fisher

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Robin Fisher opened to 2,200 and got two calls before Smit Trevedi three-bet all in for 27,000. Fisher four-bet all in for 49,700.

One player folded before Danut Chisu also called for his last 17,000.

Danut Chisu: {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Smit Trevedi: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Robin Fisher: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

"That's good for me," said Trevedi as the flop came {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} giving him a straight draw. "Any queen."

The turn was the {k-Diamonds} meaning he was open-ended.

"That's good for me!" repeated Trevedi," Any ace!"

The river was the {3-Hearts}

"That's good for me!" said Chisu sarcastically as Fisher's aces held and he sent both opponents to the rail.

Pavlov Takes from Torre

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Giovani Torre and Atanas Pavlov were in a heads-up pot on board of {2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} in a battle between the blinds.

Torre led out with a bet of 2,000 from the small blind and Pavlov raised to 5,000. Torre called. Torre checked on the {3-Hearts} turn and Pavlov sized down to 4,000, which wasn't small enough to get any more out of his opponent as Torre folded.
