Carbo Collects the Pot When Parker Calls the Clock

Chipleader Parker Talbot and Gerard Carbo had escalated a blind-on-blind battle to the point that there were 60,000 chips in the pot on a completed board of 5♣10♣8♣Q♣9♠, and Talbot put in another 53,000 from the small blind.

Carbo sat in the big blind and made a raise to 123,000. Parker went with his hands in his hair and thought it over for a minute or so before calling the clock on himself. He would not make the decision in time, resulting in his cards hitting the muck at the end of the 30-second mark, accidentally exposing his J♣ in the process.

Carbo then was kind enough to allow Talbot to pick one of his cards to show the table, and Parker picked the 10♥, leading to a loud expletive arising from the PokerStars Ambassador.
