Talbot Dodges a Bullet
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
In a heads-up pot on a board of A♥J♣6♥Q♣, Kiryl Asaulenka checked in the big blind and Parker Talbot bet 51,000 on the button. Asaulenka called.
Asaulenka checked again on the 4♣ river and Talbot thought for a minute before checking back. Asaulenka tabled A♦10♥ for a pair of aces and the PokerStars Team Pro mucked in defeat while speculating that his opponent would have snap-called if he jammed.
"I dodged a bullet," Talbot said as he patted himself on the back.
