Talbot Flops a Full House and Gets a Double

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Parker Talbot

Antoine Saout opened to 215,000 from under the gun. Action folded all the way to Parker Talbot in the big blind. He three-bet to 510,000. Saout moved all in for 1,345,000 effective, and Talbot made the call.

Parker Talbot: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Antoine Saout: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Talbot was in a great spot to get another double. The flop was the {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts} to give Talbot the full house.

"Put the jack of hearts," said Talbot, one of the only sweat cards.

The dealer obliged, and put out the {j-Hearts} on the turn, bringing in a straight flush draw.

The river was another heart, but it was the {7-Hearts}, making a no-good flush for Saout and Talbot locked up the double.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jordan Saccucci opened to 175,000 from early position. Luigi D'Alterio made the call in the hijack. Paul-Adrian Covaciu moved all in for 1,375,000 in the cutoff.

Back on Saccucci, he also moved all in for 10,125,000. D'Alterio went into the tank with about 5,900,000 total in his stack. After tanking for about a minute, he folded his cards, the stream never revealing what the second card was, though he eventually said he folded ace-king.

Jordan Saccucci: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Paul-Adrian Covaciu: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Covaciu and Saccucci headed to a runout with the Covaciu at risk. The board came out {6-Spades}{a-Spades}{2-Clubs}, a terrible flop for Covaciu. The {4-Hearts} turn offered no help, Covaciu left with two outs going to the river. That final card was the {k-Diamonds}, ending Covaciu's tournament as the first final table elimination.
